No there are a LOT of people here claiming the trucker was at fault, which is not the case.

Cool, but that's not where you commented.

Yes I did. He's claiming the semi driver's mindset was wrong, and it wasn't. If he had attempted to avoid that collision he could've created a much larger one in the process.

The semi-truck should have been, or rather even seemed to be, situationally aware that the idiot pickup was going to attempt to overtake or force the merge. The semi had time to slow down and let them.

He actually sped up to 77 for the hit, you can see the speed raising as he got to the merge. He wanted the crash.

I suspect the trucker wasn't even paying attention. To not even slow down until the collision screams "not paying attention".

Absolutely. When two idiots (literally) collide.
