Think about it at 60mph (100kph) you are traveling 88 feet per second and if you watch the dash cam vehicle it is under heavy braking that's why it swerves to the left then right.

The cops said they did the reconstruction and that this totally unavoidable for the truck with the right of way.
While I agree that the impact was probably unavoidable, I saw no evidence that the dash cam vehicle braked at all. If he had, the front would dive. He may have let off the gas for a moment, but the only move I saw was him trying to swing wide, swerve left then back to the right. The guy with the trailer slowed down and never stopped. If dashcam guy got on his brakes when the guy rolled through the stop sign, he may not have stopped, but he probably would have hit the trailer instead of the truck.

Couple on a motorcycle died right in front of my wife when a guy pulling a boat did like the guy in the video. Well, the woman died right then, guy died that night.
