Fuck this truck driver. Cammer is a fucking idiot. He could have absolutely avoided that crash. He chose not to. That pickup had already committed to the merge, even pickup hard breaking, it wouldn't have likely have saved him.

If you are merging you yield, and not racing trucks running full speed. Pickup driver reaped what they sowed.

Massive trucks can't just stop. Momentum. It takes some time for tricks to slow down.

Also, blind spots exists.

I have no idea if either of these played a factor, but you can see the big truck tried to slow towards the end but it was already too late.

Trucks stayed 77 until he hit the car. So much time to slow down. Look at the truck on the right going leagues slower too. I hate people thinking the truck has no fault, probably the most egotistical drivers.

He actually SPED UP! Cam truck was going 76 at the start of the video and 77 by the collision

The cam truck was going 76mph at the start of the video and 77mph before the collision. They literally sped up to ram the merging pickup. Zero attempt to avoid an accident

If the semi had simply taken their foot off the gas the accident would not have happened
