This happens way too often. People need to learn to keep attention to the road while driving. YDI.

Rubbernecking is what a lot of EMT's and cops call it. People get distracted trying to see what happened instead of paying attention to the accident they're about to cause. Still, hope you are okay.

Maybe you should've pulled off to the side to admire it much better?

This happens way too often. People need to learn to keep attention to the road while driving. YDI if you were just looking at something out of interest. If you got distracted because you saw it happen then FYL.

Well, that's killing 2 (or more if you count each victim) birds with one one (or more) stone(s).

Yeah, YDI for not paying attention while driving. You could read all about that other accident in the news later, when you are home. Drive safely!

I hope your license got suspended. If you can't pay attention to the road and you let something like a car accident distract you, you shouldn't be driving.

Unfortunately this is very common, we paramedics see it every day on the job. Apparently it's in the human nature to be nosey. Hope you weren't injured, lesson learned.
