I always have interesting takeaways after close calls. You should know.

The car in front of me and the car behind me are totaled. I think the one behind me also got hit by a few other cars as well.

I was in the far right lane of the highway. Volume was high but the speed was up. Was behind a Silverado doing about 70 mph. A work van was next to me on the left. All of a sudden I see the Silverado lock up the front brakes, then make a hard left into the next lane.

Through the tire smoke I see a Prius at the back of a line of traffic stopped dead ahead in my lane. I get hard on the brakes but knowing I'm going to hit him if I stay in my lane I let off the brakes and chance it that the van to my left is paying attention and quickly dart over as far as I can to the left. I was able to get partially over into the left lane and managed not to hit the van and just narrowly squeaked by the Prius at about 40 mph.

The Corolla behind me slammed into the Prius and a couple other cars piled into the Corolla. Airbags off and everything.

Madness.

Also, this is the second close call that has me thinking I need to order PSS for the S2k right away. The last one was a giant metal pipe getting kicked up 20 ft in the air from a big truck ahead of me, then slamming down in my lane. Had to cross two lanes quickly to avoid it and the Hanpoop tires did not want to hold on.

wow! I just pooped a little after reading that!

Glad you are safe, and came out of that situation without any marks... Other than some chocolate skid marks maybe....
