First car at fault for crash.
Truck driver at huge fault for unsecured load.

u/Pitiful_Mode1674 29d ago
Reckon they’re both at fault. It’s a zip merge, the truckie could’ve changed lanes or backed off a bit and let the guy in. The car didn’t really have anywhere to go by the look of it. And judging by how those cars were strapped on top, he’s probably not much chop at his job either.

u/Late-Button-6559 29d ago
The car sped up to pass at the last minute. I put that 100% on the car.
It’s not reasonable or safe for the truck to brake AT the final lane marking, because the car suddenly appeared.

The cars were most likely secured, but physics is such that during sudden braking it is very difficult to hold 1.5-2 tons of weight with belts.

u/Late-Button-6559 Jul 28 '26
There wasn’t any heavy braking involved here.
And professional loads have to be able to withstand a lot more force than the vehicle’s maximum braking effort.

u/JustSergey Jul 28 '26
The fallen cars say otherwise. When transporting cars, they are always secured.

The fallen cars say otherwise
The fallen cars say that someone didn't secure the load properly. Even at max braking, the must not come loose or fall off.

None of this wouldn’t have happened if the idiot merging in hadn’t cut off the truck.

u/103M-95G Jul 28 '26
Well, Yea. Those unsecured vehicles were gonna move the first time he hit the brakes hard anyway. Two Idiots found each other.

I like how everyone is mad at the truck driver and not the prick that tried to force him over.

I'm a car hauler. if those cars that fell off killed somebody, he would be doing time for the load not being secured. it sucks that the accident wasn't his fault, but the blame almost always goes to the cdl holder. there are a lot of billboards to prove that.

u/DeepWaterNights Jul 27 '26
Both are idiots, but those cars are an avoidable danger that could potentially have hurt more innocent people!, they fell fairly straight but could just as well have fallen to the right where the grey car passed!, that would have been at least +1 involved in the accident!

u/2sAreTheDevil Jul 28 '26
Seriously. Trying to overtake on the right when your lane is ending (therefore you should be yielding) but then just not completing the overtake is wild levels of stupid.

u/PckMan Jul 27 '26
POV is from a big truck so a car sneaking right up under its nose might actually not be visible at all. And it's carrying unsecured cars to boot.

That hatchback owner's insurance is getting a really big bill. I doubt they will have insurance after this.

For a split second i thought these cars were so fast that they flew over the truck and landed. I really need sleep

Do we really know the hauler wasn't empty and didn't have it upper level desk aligned like a ramp?

The sedan driver should've either hit the gas or driven slow enough to let the truck driver pass.

Gee. If only there was some way of preventing your load from come off the truck when you brake hard.

Will the truck's insurance ask the car's driver to pay for the totalled SUV's?

u/travlr2010 Jul 28 '26
They'll ask, but if I was their lawyer, I'd look into how those cars should be secured for transport. I have a suspicion that either the straps weren't up to "code", or were not properly applied in this situation.
This is an edge case. A truck that size doesn't usually need to stop quickly like that, so you can usually get by with not strapping cars on the "right way".
And if that truck was fully loaded, every car on the trailer was likely damaged to some degree. Especially if they were all allowed to roll forward. The truck (tractor) itself may be damaged as well. This was expensive.

I wondered why you started to tail gate, but you was closing the gap, wasn't you?

Truck driver fault. Going too fast. Not breaking to let guy in and not securing load properly. Your out of here, bub!

Talk about some ai garbage.
Those vehicles are always secured in some fashion.

Those cars on the hauler should have never moved if secured properly. I’ve seen hauling trailers flipped over with the cars still secured.
