That would be something being asleep and waking up to a car crash

reminds me of an old joke:

"When I go I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather. Not screaming and afraid like the passengers in his car"

The version I've heard a bunch of times had him as a bus driver..

The version I've heard: When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like Grandpa; not like Grandma, who died screaming "Look out for that car!"
