Default I was 50 yards behind a subaru outback crash!

I went to my subi dealer in Costa RaPe YA to get a rare black trunk badge .
ON the way traffic in the #4 went from 10 to 15 mph over the limit to sudden stop.Outback smashed by car from behind ,outbacks' windows went into shatter mode.Smacked car ahead of it.everyone was totaled.
About 80 mph before braking then impact...OUTBACK driver was only one i saw walking around scene after getting out.I saw no airbag.

Hi torque, I was @ around 75 mph in 6th then down shifted and broke out of the potential train wreck in the #4[passing lane] .This T.C was a good half of a football field ahead of me.My first reaction was [in trunk] towels for the bloody and flares and my fire extinguisher.
As i drove by i saw 1st responders as expected.All non civil servant help
all over it and in control.The last thing that i will think about is looking for my phone under my seat[where it always ends up]to document.
ive kicked myself for all sorts missing pics many times .

THANKS...
IM tired i did run over alum ladder that fell of a truck that obviously failed to hold it.
I was real sad till i talked to subi tech that told me the alum is all bark and no bite for our steel bellys protecting the inernals.
