Yup, as I posted here a few weeks ago, my brother's a paramedic/fireman and last fall their department had a guy in an SUV plow right into the back of a full size fire truck, with its brakes set and all lights running, with road flares out and 3 or 4 other cop cars/emergency units around with their lights on. He hit so hard it pushed the truck about 6 to 10 feet, which is a hell of a hit since the truck outweighed him by a heck of a lot.
