The vehicle below is a Chevy Silverado pick-up truck...
But you probably can't tell that, the way it looks crumbled under the 40 ton (80,000 lb 18-wheeler).
FP Edit: Was misinformed how this accident occurred, here's an article with details:

Tragic accident - RIP.
For reference, here is what the truck would look like if it wasn't under the wheels of the 18-wheeler.

Oook facts are wrong so why the upvotes??
ScrotieMcpostagain
Semis try to leave a big gap in front, as braking with a load takes room. People jump in front of them a lot. You can't fix stupid.
kidafrika2020
Semi got rear ended by another semi. First semi ran over pickup and killed both passengers. Check your sources. Don't make assumptions.
WachZillis
Fuck'n shit man
TittyFuckedByHobbits
How about changing the title to "When you're stopped and some dickhole trucker rams another semi on top of your vehicle killing you"?
Tellenue
I drive on a major trucking route every day. I see the trucks tailgating me and it freaks me out. THEY don't leave stopping distance either.
TheDTYP
Pfft accurate facts are suckers
JosephMcCovery
How in the hell do people repost something with a similar title? Mind you, it's a title that shows people don't read the actual story.
imfromsouthcarolina
That is the worst shit I have seen in a while. RIP

Get your facts straight u piece of shit
BigBadBillyBoy
Way to fuck up a repost.
aLiteralWingman
I honestly feel so sorry for the people who have to retrieve the bodies from the vehicle. That has got to be a scarring event.
laughinglaura
This is a sad sad tragedy. I'm always very careful around semi trucks but this seemed to be unavoidable
puddin151
I saw someone do this today during rush hour then proceed to slam on their brakes and slow way down
daytonwallace
I see blood
bloobeduu
There's nothing that screams 'asshole' more than blaming victims. Go fuck yourself OP.
ChrisHemsworthsBulge
Cool, way to lie about two people's deaths. Very classy.
zenoshogun
Trucks should have lasers that draw their braking zone in front of them, sort of like these bike lane things:
zenoshogun
To dissuade people from cutting in front of them leaving them nowhere to stop except on top of those people.
FemaleINTJ
That would be nice, i saw a large box truck tailing cars this morning, going between lanes. Pissed me off, he could slam into someone easy.
Kalabatos
Get well soon

*whispers* Holy shit.

Since repost statistics isn't here.. Reposted like a weekish ago title similarity 5/7

The truck didn't cut the semi off but hey, let's use this tragic loss of life to sensationalize a generalized statement on the internet.
MacRockatansky
And paint the dead as dicks killed because they cut a semi off, rather than the innocent victims caught in a bad situation they actually are
notapreppie
Hooray for victim blaming!!!
ViaFerrata
Can we not cut anyone off? Maybe?
StandAgainstTyranny
They didn't. @OP is either a lazy shitbag or a pointwhoring, deliberately falsifying shitbag. It was a pile-up and Chev was btwn 2 semis.
fornostrangereason
I hope the driver get's well soon.
MadamPuddifoot
get is well soon
fornostrangereason
Sorry about the errant apostrophe.
dogestyle
all of his scattered parts
notapreppie
That's not what happened.
Silverwyvern151
Truth is overrated anyway.
notapreppie
Ain't it, though?
WyldLyle86
Actual Source and facts. Nah, people would rather call him a dickhole.
notapreppie
Victim blaming at it's best.

MacRockatansky
I was gonna say. That Chevy would have to have amazing front brakes if that's what happened.
notapreppie
Carbotech XP10's or some shit.
madetheaccountjustforyou
Chain reaction accidents happen because dickbags don't keep proper distance from the car in front of them.
FemaleINTJ
I hate people who will pass me to tail the person in front of me because i had more than 3 cars of space between us.
BigBadBillyBoy
This was not because of following distance.
madetheaccountjustforyou
Uh... if you can't stop without hitting the car in front of you, you're too close.
BigBadBillyBoy
The third semi was doing nearly full speed when it hit the one behind the pickup. There was plenty of room if he had paid attention.
TerryFoldFlaps
This incident was a highway pile up, both people in the truck died. The truck didn't cut the semi off but this is what can happen.
UnsavoryCommenter
I don't think anyone would have survived being in a steel accordion
The2020ElectionWasStolen
It's pretty obvious this is what happened because both vehicles are in line with each other.
MacRockatansky
A 2nd semi rear-ended the semi in the picture and pushed it into a 3rd semi, crushing the pickup between them.
The2020ElectionWasStolen
yeah I read but pic is clear no attempted crossover took place
Jrfarris
It'd be a miracle if they lived
WalterMatthau
It's funny because he tricked everyone into being happy that those people died.
Defender0fHyrule
I was actually disappointed that they didn't live to learn a lesson. Now I'm just sad that they died because someone was following too close
peacockfuta
A couple of months ago an 18 wheeler hit my tiny car twice. We spun around so many times, it was scary :(
iEatRectum
Did it spin you right round, right round?
watercolortitties
Like a record, baby?
ChesterSnapdragonMcFistycuffs
Car accidents are hella scary! Glad you're still here to post :)
DickCheneytheDefilerBanned
I've been in two accidents. I wouldn't say they were scary. I skipped fear and jumped straight to anger.
peacockfuta
Yeah, me too! I thought I was going to be squished... The miracle was that nothing happened to my side, didn't need the hospital
Ghode
You'd think since OP works for imgur they would know not to post an inaccurate caption........you would think
rubbarz
OP just copied the inaccurate title from when this last hit the FP.
TerryFoldFlaps
Wait op works for imgur? I knew what I said cause I researched it the other day when this was on the fp... That means...
grimbor
Imgur staff are responsible for reposts?!?
baiin
How else do you think they sell ad revenue. Reposts are judged to be popular and mean more visits = more ad revenue.
ronniefuckindobbs
@sarah are you ok with your team members lying about someone's death for points?
Caspooky
The Imgur product team leader is a faggot! ;D
MyNameIsJesusAndIStealHubcapsFromCars
lol enjoy your shadow ban
deltree5
Pro tip - Don't fucking cut off an 18-wheeler.
ChrisHemsworthsBulge
It was a pileup, and both people in the truck died. Don't believe everything you see on Imgur.
ActuallyJabbaTheHutt
Just fucking don't.

We're all looking at you, JANET!

People tend to forget that when 2 objects collide at roughly the same speed that the bigger one wins.
DoctorPitt
and before anyone else says it yes I know, acceleration and mass not velocity and size.
TigerSauce
It looks like it was runover from the back side though
DoctorPitt
As the post explains he cut off the tractor, so they did collide just not head on.
StandAgainstTyranny
No, the post was wrong. The truck was the meat in a semi-sandwich. One semi slammed into another, into one behind the truck, smashing 1/2
StandAgainstTyranny
the pickup into the next semi. It was a pileup, not a cutoff, and @OP is lazy/an asshole and gave incorrect info in the title. 2/2
DoctorPitt
Ah, well it's still a collision
