I've been thinking about such accidents because last week a guy slammed on the brakes after looking up from his phone, and didn't manage to stop until through the light, and that was including using my wife's BMW which was stopped at the red light they shared as a barrier.
His skid marks were ~300ft until he hit my wife's bumper (I measured them on google earth), and my wife's car ended up ~75' into the intersection, and his car 75' past that.
Glad he looked up from texting when he did. #@$!# POS. Wish he had died to prevent entering the gene pool, sadly he just broke his nose.
