      Ideally in a situation like this you want to get out of your car and basically sprint off the road as quickly as possible. If you get in an accident under normal conditions you'd want to stay in your car, but here you have tractor trailers flying at you at 60 mph with no means of stopping if you stay in the car. People routinely get killed in these pileups by getting sandwiched between big rigs.

        Car safety cages can handle more impact force than human bones and organs can so they've got the right of it.

          Of course, but it seems better to get out and move off the road & not be in a position where you’re gambling over how well you’ll make out of getting smashed by a semi. Ofc every option is shit and absurdly life threatening.
