While driving on interstate 94 approximately 23 august 2011, and surrounded by semi truck traffic I experienced a rapid deceleration of my vehicle without any warning. In addition, the traffic was so tight, and due to the rapid deceleration rate, I barely escaped being hit from the rear by an approaching fully loaded 53 foot semi trailer.
