You do not have to be a card-carrying safety officer to work out there's a major catastrophe about to happen in the photo collage above.
That it didn't happen is a small miracle, police say. And the fact the national road death toll did not increase is another small mercy.
Take a moment to watch the video of it unfolding right here - and it will became very clear how very dangerous this was.
Another miracle is that they have dashcam footage of the incident which happened on the Hume Highway over the weekend. Now they want more - and they're calling on the public's help with that.
It might not have happened in your neck of the woods but the sheer terror of what could happen should be enough to encourage people to keep calm on our roads.
