...result was cacophonous. A car behind Martin smashed into him and spun sideways. Brakes squealing, slewing in the slush like slalom racers, car after car piled helplessly into the snarl. When things finally skidded to a stop, 34 cars were locked in a tangled mass, blocking the expressway from curb to curb-and providing a classic picture of what happens in modern civilization when the slightest thing goes wrong...
