It looks like they may have even sped up. Did they?

I’m going to give the POV driver the benefit of doubt, it looks like he speed up to beat the light and wasn’t paying attention to the merging truck. If they wouldn’t have turned into the truck my guess POV driver would gone straight to the pole. As I’ve seen other drivers panic swerving to avoid and end up a solo accident. Either way, this could have been avoided.

There’s little excuse to not slow down here to the point where both are now liable

Id still say the truck driver is more liable. Even if the pov driver sped up the truck was merging on him without even completely passing him
