A vehicle was traveling very slowly on a rural interstate as my Toyota Fj cruiser approached in the same lane. The driver of the Fj cruiser braked quickly to avoid hitting the slow moving vehicle. However, an 18-wheeler behind it could not stop fast enough. It rear-ended my Fj cruiser sending the front-end colliding directly into the back of the slow moving vehicle. As the 18-wheeler continued forward, my Fj cruiser was squeezed out from between the two vehicles and pushed into another lane. Both the driver and passenger of my Fj cruiser were transported to the hospital for injuries. No airbags deployed at any time during the collision with the slow moving vehicle. Extensive damage to the front and rear of my vehicle resulted in a total loss.
