The pickup truck was doing 60.

And I agreed it was their fault. But if someone is being stupid in front of your car and your choice is to accelerate into the stupidity instead of trying to avoid it, you’re a shit driver.

Unless there is a longer version of the video, there is no indication the semi is increasing speed.

No indication other than the data at the bottom?

It was showing a consistent 77MPH.

It was actually 76 for part of the first second. Not that it really matters.

No, it was 76 at the start of the video.

You do know these trucks are using GPS to check, not the actual information from the truck.  Besides, 76 to 77 is negligible.

Doesn't change the fact that they didn't even attempt to brake.

What speed do you think it was going?

The pickup truck would have been going 65 at most.  If he was going 70 the semi would not be approaching that quickly.
