The backside of your car could have hit the frontside of a car next to you, causing you to spin, causing you to be t-boned on the driver-side.
Always have an "out": appropriate stopping distance, or a clear lane next to you (you have to make sure your mirrors are set-up properly so you don't have a blindspot, and you have to maintain situational awareness).
Too many people fixate on the car in front of them, and don't look at the traffic down the road. Too many people have their side-view mirrors set-up, creating blindspots.
