It almost looks like the guy filming owns the van and set the whole thing up. How many would see a van in the highway stopped, and break out their camcorder to film everyone that was going to hit it.

Ever consider that there might be something obstructing their view? Maybe the road bends or goes up just before that, because its almost unbelievable that so many people wouldn't be able to avoid that.

looks like a contruction zone to me, too... Bet ALL of them were doing over the posted speed limit. There was also lots of tire smoke from all the cars locking up too. All of that combined with the driver inattention level that's common today on America's roads, and I can completely see how this happened.

I would just hope that nobody was seriously injured or killed in that.
