Had one of my hot shot pick ups hit a trailer that had jack knifed across his lane.
He did not even have time to react.
Luckily only a sore leg but pick up is a write off. -

Slowing down the video you can see the truck did have his hazard lights on, but from the side there it was hard to see them. If conditions were bad enough to spin a truck under a load out, than clearly that 4-wheeler was driving too fast for conditions.

The truck going the other way flashed their brights, I would have suspected something. Once, going across 80 in Iowa , snow blowing sideways, kind of night. I wasn't going very fast, maybe 25 or 30, and out of the darkness(whiteness?), I see the bottom of a trailer. A CF doubles lost it, rolled the unit, the back trailer was half across the driving lane , the front trailer, was across the passing lane, and the single axle cabover Freightliner pivoted on the truck axle and the cab was pointing straight in the air. The only way past was on my shoulder. That was a close one!

Motorists easily become accustomed to out-driving their headlights... if they ever in their lives didn't do it. Usually, nothing happens.
