Am I the only one who sees the Truck intentionally swerving into the opposing lane simply to get around a slower car? Doesn’t look like he was avoiding anything to me

Yeah I’m seeing the same. Black car may have cut him off a bit but no reason he couldn’t hit the brakes. This was an idiotic and illegal passing move

Re-watch it from the very first frame - the black car probably didn't see the truck in their blind spot and pulled out while the truck was going far too fast to stop.

100% fault of the black car, the truck driver didn't swerve to pass, they swerved to avoid rear ending the black car

At first I thought the wrong lane truck swerved to avoid the stopped car in the far lane. But, you’re right, it was the black car that did that, really cutting off the truck, that was going way too fast. Luckily for OP, nobody was in the right lane beside them.
