    I’m in the group the guy filming actually posted it in. That’s how I know he just completed a turn himself. Screen shots are blurry but oh well

    You could see the same thing I saw.
    The video of the last few seconds and a couple pictures showing events many seconds before.

    The pictures show the filming truck accelerating towards the Swift truck (it is in the time stamp) as it was making the turn, then the video showing that driver getting as close as possible to the Swift truck to block the turn.

    Your first picture showed the dash cam time stamped: 16:53:45

    Two telephone poles away and closing Swift was already into his turn.

    Now Picture number two the time stamp is: 16:53:49 close to 3 seconds later.

    Telephone poles roughly 125 feet apart. A vehicle doing 60 will cover 88 ffeet per second at 60 mph.

    These two pictures put at least one telephone pole away in that 3 second group.

    Ergo speeding.

    Again, no wreck, so how can someone be at fault.

    I doubt there is any driver anywhere that has not pulled out and made somebody slow down, if there is, they have not got off the farm yet.

    I aint in any hurry anymore, I will go as far as I can safely then set the brakes, call the locals up and wait. The weird thing about not being in a hurry it seems I have many behind and they all a bit impatient. So you know why I will set the brakes and wait.
