Default Professional Drivers or just any for that matter

Well here's what happens when so called "professional drivers" fail to drive with winter road conditions. This happened about a week and a half ago. I got the call that I had
the day off or this could have been me. It was raining around 4 that morning and ended up turning to freezing rain then to snow and cold. The Highways were sheets of glare ice.
The driver of our truck was following two Semi's doing about 35 KM/H,They were all looking for a rest stop or a place to turn off the Highway. The Tractor/Trailer hit our truck from behind,
the people driving said they were doing 60 KM/H...........my question is would there be this much damage at 60 KM/H????? Our drive was fine though shaken and sore,the others(3 of them) 2 were ok the one in the Sleeper was takin to hospital with minor injuries. He had to be cut out of the sleeper.
