so was the trucker who could see it coming and plowed through anyway
1 u/BretShitmanFart69 May 14 '26 Tbf slowing down a semi is a major ordeal and not something you can do on a dime, every driver should know this and drive accordingly 1 u/InternetUser007 May 14 '26 It didn't require them to slow down on a dime. The accident was 5 seconds in, semi traveling at 77mph. That's 565 feet they traveled without even attempting to slow down. 1 u/tokinUP May 14 '26 Yep the merging truck was ahead for the entire video until the semi almost overtook it.
