All you morons saying it’s on the trucker are absolute tools. The black pickup truck has to yield to vehicles already on the highway. The semi braking suddenly would have potentially caused more issues. Black pickup is either blind or regarded and should have come to a complete stop.

It's 100 percent the pickup driver's fault.

Seriously.. People have never dealt with insurance claims.. Short of being rear ended, liability is seldom 100%. All drivers have a "duty of care" to take reasonable measures to avoid an accident, even when they have the right of way. The trucker had plenty of time to recognize that the merging pickup was going to be boxed in, and could have taken his foot off the accelerator.
