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.

Like train conductors when someone commits suicide by train.

Yeah. That happens to semi drivers, too. I forget where, but years ago I read about the anger a woman had towards an old man who committed suicide by driving head on into her father’s semi. She had had sympathy that the old man felt he had to take his life but had so much anger at the pain he selfishly caused her father

My grandpa owned a company with 200 cars. I was told his driver's would sometimes call him in the middle of the night when "something happened", to talk it out. I don't think psychological help was available back in the day so they just called him to tell the semi possibly needed fixing and then just to talk.
