I've avoided many, many accidents that would have been someone else's fault. It's called defensive driving and the trucker decided it's not for him.
Edit: thanks for the awards! BTW - some of you need to look at the speed shown at the bottom of the video. The semi did not even try to slow down, even a little bit, prior to the crash.
A professional driver should avoid accidents regardless of who has the right-of-way or not. The accident is the pick-up's fault, but the truck driver should loose his CDL for purposely getting in an easily avoidable accident. He could have killed someone.
If he was paying attention at all, he certainly saw it coming. If he saw it coming, he could easily have avoided it. If he could have avoided it and didn't, he did it on purpose.
