I saw a few accidents, but only minor (less damage than what you seem to describe in the Corolla vs pickup accident).
If one occurs in front of me, at least now I have the dashcam. A few days ago I recently nearly got a similar one on the cam : a car turning left, not seeing that a car was coming in front, I saw the accident coming but both stopped in time.
Accidents I saw were most of the time the rear car not stopping at time and hitting the car in front, especially in winter when it is slippery.
One time there was one indirectly caused by me (but not my fault) : approaching my garage entrance, I slow down, with the blinker, so the car in rear can also slow down safely since there was snow (and here when there is snow traffic is chaotic). At a point I had to nearly stop to turn into the garage entrance, the car behind me slopped properly since he guessed the situation, but the one behind it didn't, so crash.
Two times I was the car in front, hit by another one: one time just waiting for turning, the driver behind wasn't attentive enough, could brake to reduce the speed a lot but not enough (I heard the noise of the car tires on the road), no damage to my car, and bumper slightly moved on the other car ; another time just after started to drive from a green light then I had to stop again as the car in front of me was turning right but letting a pedestrian pass, the car behind me didn't notice it and hit my car (but again no damage, very slow speed).
And one time it was me involved and responsible
Changing lane, checking dead angle at rear, when I watch again in front the cars are slowing down, I start braking, my foot slips, then crash: https://scontent-b-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1/p180x540/374041_4686205193907_125151718_n.jpg (into the Seat Alhambra seen behind)
