    They said he braked too hard. No real sign of hitting anything.

    IDK, there are alot of gaps in the load, and chains are either tight or loose.
    What bothers me is all the cut straps on what seemed to be rebar, but then looked like smooth rods. maybe oiled rods. I don't think chains would have mattered much.

    Watch the video in it's entirety. At .026 the driver can clearly be heard stating he hit another truck heading to IN on route 70 and the damage to the front end is obvious.

    Thanks, I will check it out. I assumed the damage was from the load coming forward.

    They made it way past the berth. To the firewall, but couldn't tell if they went through it on each side of the motor.
