Accidents on freeways(not your side) attract a lot of attention. People slow down to look. Stupid attracts a lot of attention too. Why?

I suppose people are hoping to see bloody gory agony/death accident-wise? Why? And as for stupid being attention-getting shouldn't stupid always be ignored in favor intelligent? What is the draw of stupid? Besides being a rotten example of what/whom not to be or do what is the substantive value of stupid?

    Rubbernecking is a pest and causes accidents the other way.

    I know.  What I don't know or understand is why people seem to enjoy doing it? Do you have a clue about the why? I mean people are in pain/misery maybe close to dying when involved in accidents. What good does gawking do anyone? I don't get it. Thank you for your reply Malizz.
