Actually, that's what happens to moving objects with flash. A camera will have a relatively long exposure (maybe 1/90s), but the flash will be a short burst at the beginning of the exposure. The result is the image of an object with a blur of it in front of the path of motion.

Higher-end cameras, however, get around that by having the flash at the end of the exposure. This feature isn't on normal cameras because it's hard to impliment. It's pretty hard to sync things properly when you're working with times that are fractions of 100ths of seconds.
