I just finished a rally so my attention must be heightened to motorcycle news apparently. I heard from the other room that in Corsicana 3 cyclists died when a pickup truck lost control, veered into the oncoming lane thereby striking 2 cyclists and then rolled over and struck two more. I'd have to say the odds of something like this are 10 million to one that a car/truck could actually strike the middle part of a train of bikes.
I have been in a rally accident before and frankly I'm starting to think they aren't as safe as they seem. Everyone is packed into the group so closely that if one thing goes wrong, it's inevitable that it will cascade.
My condolences to those involved in that accident today. My prayers go out to you.
