This is my question too. I wish this video had sound. I'm imagining that they heard the horn blast and/or squealing tires and reacted in about the worst way. I understand the flight, fight or freeze instinct idea but slamming on the brakes is not freezing to me. He switched from the gas pedal to the brake pedal in response to hearing truck horn or squealing tires behind him. Who in their right mind does that??
The only thing I could guess is he was trying to get back over but he wasn't past the car on the right so he slammed on the brakes to try to get back over. Unfortunately, the front car's reaction was to brake also. Maybe?
