I didn't see the truck as the other car blocked my view. The other car hit the rear end of the truck, the truck moved slowly across my lane, debris flying everywhere. 45 zone and I was able to slow enough that the truck cleared from in front of me. My wife thought it was magic with the path clearing in front of us. In both cases if my car didn't have superior tires I would not have been able to slow in time and would have hit something. Absolutely no 'Pushing it' on my part.

Good to know you were safe.
Personally, I don't think it would've made much difference as the Indys aren't bargain-basement in terms of performance and I try to slow down even more and look out for ppl that are clueless and step out like that.
