Car One was
approaching the end of an entrance ramp to a freeway. Car Two was coming down the ramp
right behind him. Car Three was approaching in the right lane of the freeway. Just as
Car One was about to merge with freeway traffic, the driver noticed that Car Three was too
close, so he stopped to let Car Three pass. The driver of Car Two thought that Car
One was going to enter the freeway without stopping. He turned his head to check
traffic on the freeway. When he turned back and saw Car One had stopped, he slammed on his
brakes, but he could not stop in time, and rear-ended Car 1.
The driver of Car One received a whiplash injury to his neck.
