Default Crazy 4-car pileup close call just now

Well I managed to accidentally avoid a major accident just now. I was crossing over a 4 lane highway so I could get on it going East. I was at the intersection right before the bridge and I was waiting in the left turn lane. There was a steady line of cars backed up all the way across the bridge so I knew I wouldn't make it across the intersection on this light, so I just sat and waited.

In the mean time, before I got to the intersection I noticed a riced out Eclipse (probably early 90's, and the guy had a loud exhaust and thought he was the sh*t). The guy in the Eclipse was wearing ipod headphones and swerving all over the road, and this is a really busy intersection at this time. So I'm waiting and he goes through the intersection, followed by another car directly to my right.

I was sitting behind a giant SUV so I couldn't get a clear view of the intersection. Next thing I know, I saw something I couldn't understand, and it took a second to realize there was car debris spraying all over the road in all directions, right in the middle. The SUV in front of me eventually pulls away and now I can see what happened. The guy directly to my right was going straight through the intersection on a solid green light when he got completely T-boned by a crappy truck going the opposite way (presumably on red or yellow? I couldn't see). The guy that was previously in the lane next to me is screaming his head off at the truck driver and their cars are stopped completely parallel and smashed together. Everyone was ok but the cars looked like they easily had 10K of damages. As I pull further ahead I see the riced out mitsubishi and another car also got caught in the accident. My theory is the ricer was swerving wildly in the middle of the intersection which contributed to the crash, but I couldn't see that.

So basically, crazy 4 car pileup right in the middle of a busy intersection at lunch rush hour and this happened literally 25 feet away from me. If I had been going straight through the intersection it probably would have been me that got T-boned by the truck. Insane!
