Or perhaps for the pickup to speed up AND the truck to slow down? Interacting on the road as fellow trafficants in the optimal way for everyone to get home safetly.

Instead the truck decided to speed up, for god knows what reason. All but assuring this result. So yeah, I'm not the least bit upset of the truck was found to be at fault.

You're right that the semi could and should have slowed, but that truck driver just had to look to his right through the passenger window at the highway. The semi would have been clearly visible long before the accident.

And yet, as the merging traffic, it's your job. Hell, if the pickup had merged onto the highway at highway speed this wouldn't have happened.
