My wife's aunt was hit on the motorway by a truck when traffic slowed down.
Her Renault Twingo came loose only to be hit again, now on the drivers side; the grill logo filling her door window.
Was pushed around like that for over a kilometer, until her wheels were worn so far down that the bottom of the car touched the pavement and began to smoke heavily.
The truck driver, who was just keeping up with the next car in front, finally noticed the smoke and honking, gesturing and signaling drivers and went to the emergency lane to investigate.
My wife's aunt came out of it shaking but unhurt. Bought a bigger car.

I am sure glad that she was okay! That accident sounded very confusing and terrifying!
Somehow, I visualize the car getting pulled to one side if I braked after being hit and was hit again, and then rolling over.
