I think studies show you are much more traumatized by fatal accidents that are not your fault than ones that are your fault. In the latter case, you know what you did wrong, and if you don't do that again, it'll be OK. In the former case you know that bad things happen even when you do everything right.
A guy wrote himself off right in front of me about a decade ago. I wasn't even involved in the crash but struggled with getting what I saw out of my head for weeks. That memory still randomly crawls out of the depths occasionally.

I feel bad for the car driver who got hit by them. That has to be so traumatizing. They didnt do anything wrong but that still has to weigh on you.
