Most likely the car was an automatic and was in gear when it got hit and driver took their foot of the brakes.

Might not have even noticed they were moving if there were kids in the car they were attending too.

BTW this is why they tell you to put the car in neutral at intersections, not that anyone listens.
WTF? No!

lol ditto

Damn, I wanted to call him out on that. WTF leaves their car in neutral, and wtf says that you should?

Although I often do in my manual transmission vehicle.

As you should. Sitting there with the clutch depressed wears out the throwout bearing.

It is ILLEGAL to put the car in neutral under normal circumstances in most states.

Edit: Maybe not? Checking the Googles...

I'd also like to find out more about this wreck. The SUV that takes the brunt of the truck's impact really got pounded, right on the driver's side front... I'd imagine he was killed or critically injured.

wtf are you talking about?? (Not that you'll ever tell us, since you're probably frantically looking for a google source to back up that claim & can't find one)

Also, if those front stopped vehicles that were hit harder had been in neutral, the passengers would have been more likely to be injured.

That guy did it wrong. You're supposed to have your hot hacker-chick pseudo girlfriend you just met after being inducted into an elite fraternity change the red lights green and the green lights red just at the last moment.
