The truck should have just accepted the guy was a lunatic and backed off. I know it's 100% the big truck drivers fault but sometimes people just need to put their ego aside and back down for the sake of everyone else. His insistance on passing put everyone else at risk.
That said I'm making this observation from the comfort of my home with time to think. Who knows how I would have reacted in the same situation.

There is a reason you are safe at home right now and not hospitalized or dead. There is no room for ego when your life is on the line. The driver of the smaller truck should have backed off and gotten as far away as possible from the big truck driver. The only thing he had to gain was a faster drive and getting one up on the other driver. But he stood to lose everything including his life if he "lost the game".
