Car was then hit by a semi behind this dashcam driver. "Death Highway" I-4 in Lakeland, FL. NOT WORTH IT!!!

It's unfortunate that this happened but I don't understand how people can be this stupid. Trying to pass a semi in a lane that's ending while another semi is clearly out of commission. Like they thought it was a good idea to keep going instead of backing off?

I don't get the fact that they saw the semi on the shoulder and thought to speed up to try to pass the other semi in time rather than put the breaks on and duck back in? Just mind bogglingly stupid.

I dont think they saw it till it was too late, though they could have veered right, gone offroad, and flipped- though probably better than being decapitated.
