I had a cop car last year pull the same thing the car that stopped for the turkey did. Cop said they weren't at fault and it was the car behind me fault for hitting me. The cop out of nowhere almost came to a stop in the road to slowly get into a turning lane without any reason for doing so, the turning lane was empty. 🙄 Still recovering from the back injury caused by it

True, I don't think turkeys going around trying to crash cars. It's how the humans react to the turkey...

First, I'm glad you and whomever was driving (I assume your son since you have all the Student Driver stickers on it) are ok. You easily could have been killed in a head on if someone was coming the opposite direction. Really glad it all worked out, although the insurance/car repair stuff is a huge nuisance. Second, I don't understand your comment that the 1st driver caused this. While what the first driver did was certainly not very intelligent, the person who caused your accident was the guy/lady behind you who was obviously traveling too close and must have been distracted (probably by cell phone usage) instead of focused on operating a 2 ton vehicle so that person was unable to stop the vehicle. THAT is what caused the accident. Whoever was driving your car was traveling the correct amount of distance behind the boneheaded 1st driver so it allowed you to stop. Therefore, the first driver didn't cause the accident.

You saw it the same way the insurance copy did. But the turkey hadn't crossed the road when the car in front of us stopped, so it's a series of unfortunate events. Very true since we were bounced into the oncoming lane the outcome could have been much worse...

What, if any, is the lesson here for the driver of the Honda sandwiched by two idiots: the guy who stopped for the turkey and the guy with the phone in hand presumably not paying much attention? What could he have done at the moment, if anything, to have avoided the massive strike from the rear? The driver of the stopped car was a scum-bag for leaving the scene of the crash. I guess a dash -cam might have at least recorded the license plate number of that car and could have provided some accountability.

I'm thinking about a dash cam for sure. I had a similar situation about 15 years ago, where I heard a truck lock up his brakes behind me and quickly pulled off to the side. He missed me but hit the car that was in front of me...

Glad everyone is okay Unfortunately it's not the idiots fault that stopped for the turkey in the eyes of the insurance company and law people should always be paying attention in that area I don't see a child running across the street but what if it was a moose or a deer then you definitely need to slam your brakes because they might do more damage then the car that rear-ended you I live in Toronto Canada and unfortunately these accidents are all too common Last year there was a major accident because someone slammed on their brakes on the highway because geese decided to cross I personally wouldn't want to hit geese and their babies but at the same time if there's cars behind me doing 100k I'm not slamming on my brakes

I'm also glad no one got hurt. The person in front shouldn't have left the scene either way. Ironically I clipped a deer last November on a rainy, foggy night, swerved just a but an just dinged him but had less than a second to react. The deer must have been fine because he was nowhere to be found and I looked around on both sides of the road...

Adaptive cruise control, Dash cams and automatic emergency braking should be mandatory for all cars, suvs and trucks.

True, my car had ACC and Emergency braking. The guy who hit me had a 2016 Lexus, not sure what saftey features it had if any.... Going to get a dash cam.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised myself. It was really a shame to lose a care with so many miles left in it...
