Sorry to hear about your accident, can't say it sounds remotely safe. Not much room to avoid (or see oncoming) debris at that speed.

Please post pics so we can see what it looks like.

Very glad you are safe, as well as those following you. You're lucky.

Not certain of the speed but probably in the 130mph range... here is a video drivers view of how quickly things happen at speed.
