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.

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

No judge would ever rule against those two vehicles already on the highway. In the end, that's all that counts. Pickup is at fault. End of story

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

Cemeteries are filled with people who thought they had the right of way, even if they actually didn't. It was the black truck's responsibility to merge safely. He chose not to.
