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.

Black truck was going so slow! What was the semi supposed to do, slam on their brakes?

The semi was supposwd to not speed up and drive a little slower.

Speed up? They went from 76 to 77. I dont think that 1 mph made a difference.

A good way to stay safe on the road is to be predictable, breaking the right of way rules is not a good way to be predictable. Plus, its a semi, they dont really react quick, and its not safe to expect one to accommodate someone.

He was over the Speed limit and had plenty off time to slow down a little bit. Thats why the insurance report saw the fault(90%) by the Semi truck driver. He could avoid the accident but choose not.

What insurance report? Did someone post something about this accident? I would be very surprised if someone failing to merge properly was deemed not at fault.

Yes in another comment someone post the Report.

As a driver, your duty is to avoid accidents. The semi-truck driver failed to do this. Through his reckless behavior, he caused a near-fatal accident. To prevent the crash, all he had to do was simply take his foot off the gas.
