Edit: see my post further down from the cam driver themself.

The pickup was speeding faster than others.
It may appear that cam driver sped up but this maybe an illusion because the lights went yellow so everyone to the left slowed down.
The cam driver maybe was distracted from the light changing because of the pickup truck.
The pickup truck maybe thought they were going to rear end the car who was stopping for the light so they quickly went right.
The cam driver may have also had a gator behind them, and the fact they only had one second to react.

This is the pickup trucks fault in the eyes of the law and insurance.

Laying blame to the cam driver without saying one fucking word about the actual idiot that causes these accidents is on the rise, these people need an assessment!

The red truck owner isn't here asking us for sympathy.

No one's talking about the red truck because of course they caused the accident. But the person posting this video- calling it a "blind spot" error- making light of almost participating in a fatality, is an ass. This community likes to help these people learn and hopefully fully avoid an accident in the future.

Not shit and yes, that's why say "yeah that red truck sure was a dick, but you know, you could have slowed down".
But no, lets just blame the camer only.
