It sounds like you aren't familiar with ice driving.
The worst pileup in Texas occurred on one side of an arched overpass. Drivers coming from one direction couldn't see the pileup forming at the bottom until they were already coming down. At such a velocity and slope, there was no recourse. This is in spite of the long distance that remained to the start of the pileup.
For context, ice accumulates on bridges before the rest of the highway.
