Horrifying video. My father was a farmer for many years, until the 80's farm crisis drove him out. He eventually ended up driving truck. He taught me to respect the trucks on the road and to always, always give them their space.
Several years ago, my husband and I were on the interstate following behind a truck. A car came past us and the truck in front and, as I've seen people do so often, they pulled back in RIGHT in front of the truck. In fact, they didn't even get past him and he ran into the back of their car. All my husband and I saw from the rear was a lot of sparks and lights. We stopped after the crash to check on everyone (we were terrified that we were going to see some awful stuff) and to give the police our report. It was a car with 3 or 4 teenagers. One of them was in the back seat and after seeing the car, I can't believe he wasn't killed or seriously hurt. The entire back end of the car was smashed in. Thankfully, everyone was ok, but it was a scary-ass thing to see.
This video reminds me a bit of the horrifying video from a pile up in (I think) Wyoming a few years ago during snowy weather. Truck after truck and car after car smashing and piling up - all caught on video.
May this truck driver rest in peace.
