Can someone explain this PBF comic to me?

I figured out that there's a clown who crashes his car into a tree because he is drunk, but I don't get the last panel. Why are there suddenly so many bodies?

Probably one of those acts where they fit a ridiculous number of clowns into one tiny clown car.
- Yup. It's a classic clown gag. They stuff an unrealistic amount of clowns into those tiny cars for a laugh.
  But killing dozens of clowns in a drunk driving accident isn't funny. It's fucking hilarious.

A clown car is famously a very tiny car with more clowns in it than you would expect to be able to fit.

You're one of the lucky 10000 today
- I'd like it to be the lucky 400 thousand but I guess it's not that snappy
- How crazy is this thread is for someone to hear about clown cars AND the lucky 10,000 for the first time.
  That number must be smaller
- what are the lucky 10000?
  
  Randall Munroe calculated that there's every day the lucky 10000 (in the US, 400 thousand globally) who learn something for the first time that is very known.
  
  its a reference to [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1053:_Ten_Thousand](this xkcd)
  
  You're one of them today. Jk, I don't think it applies specifically to this, this isn't well known.

The joke is that clowns would sometimes do a bit at the circus where like a dozen of them would cram into a tiny car. Just google the phrase "clown car" and you should see numerous examples of this.

Clown car!

  Only if they have it coming

You see, PBF likes to take common jokes and then insert something about people dying. Or getting hurt in some way.
Humor!

I read all these "clown car" interpretations, but they're all missing the point.
This is a lady clown whose fallopian tubes are heavy with eggs, as any fertile lady clown of her relative young age.
All the ambulancii are there to transport her unborn yet still vitally human unfertilized lady clown eggs.
Pray for her, for it's not a clown car but a uterus.
- Wtf… do you need a hug?
- As per tradition, the real clown car is in the comments
- what... are you talking about??
- A gravid clown, a grave situation.
  This post is like drinking a French Malbec after it's been used to deglaze a burnt pan, I love it.
- Lmmfao!
  The brilliance in this is wasted on the masses.
