This happened last Friday, June 26, 2009, on I-44, near Miami, OK. Traffic had slowed on the interstate due to an accident. An approaching tractor-trailer did not slow. According to the news articles, it appears it did not brake at all, plowing into the stopped vehicles ahead of it, killing 10 people.
The driver of the tractor-trailer survived, so it will be interesting in the days ahead to see how he managed to ram a line of cars at full speed at 1pm on a sunny afternoon. The driver of the truck was 76 years old. This is the sort of accident that makes you appreciate the physics of a truck accident. An 80,000 pound truck traveling at 65 mph can generate a devastating amount of force onto a stationary object.
