Las Vegas accident

Ok, this doesn't have to do anything with G35, but I went to Vegas over the weekend and on the way back, I saw the craziest accident. My buddy and I were going down the 15, about 30 minutes past the California border and I see all this smoke on the other side of the freeway. I turn around and only see one car, which was sliding horizontally down the freeway. Then all of a sudden, I see another car pop 15 feet in the air and spun 3 times before it landed. One of the cars must have popped a tire and the other one tried to get away, or one of them hit the other while changing lanes. It was insane though, not sure if anyone could have survived that. After another 10 minutes down the 15, we saw an ambulance heading that way. We tried looking it up online to follow up, but couldn't find anything. Anyone know what happened?

That road has some wicked damm accidents. I went to a bachelor party in February. Driving up to Vegas, on the other side of the road, some idiot cut off a truck pulling a trailer. The trailer slammed his brakes, jackknifed, the trailer and truck seperated, the trailer went rolling to one part of the median, and the truck was rolling str8 at me, a la that scene in twister. We stopped, jumped out to help the people in the truck which came to a rest upside down, with the cab crushed in. The driver was ok, but his wife in the passenger seat was pretty messed up. All because some bonehead drove without concern or paying attention to what is happening around him

Frankly, driving a couple times on that highway is all the proof anyone needs that the California DMV needs to drastically increase the difficulty of the on the road test they use to certify new and continuing drivers.
