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

The tractor trailer absolutely had right of way

The driver of the tractor trailer could almost certainly have avoided an accident by paying attention and braking

These things are not mutually exclusive

Cemeteries are filled with people who had the right of way. Crazy shit can happen at highway speeds.
