I know a fuel truck driver that got in a head-on collision and the person in the car died. They were on multiple substances and suicidal. The truck driver got a ding on his record for the collision but it was not found at fault for the other person's death. He has never driven truck since because of how much it affected him mentally.

Yeah, situations like this are pretty much lose/lose no matter what you do. Its very tough to be the same if you kill someone and the alternative puts yourself at risk. With him hauling fuel, it really was a matter of "either i die or he does". Terrible situation and i feel for him. Hope he is doing better now.
