I don’t get the title, it it implies the truck driver caused the accident but it was actually the car trying to pass another truck in front of him.

Grandpa got what he always wanted to die peacefully in his sleep. Unfortunately the people in the other car didn't think so much of it

Drive like this if you don't want to die alone

Maybe it was a suicide pack.

I am a semi truck driver and I fell asleep one time and hit a roadsign and that was enough to teach me to trust my body when It wants sleep. When you're hauling agriculture, there's something called agg. exempt.
this allows you to drive any number of hours you want, Avoiding the state and federal regulations. It's a very dangerous loophole that needs to be closed, but it's good If all you care about is money, cause you can make a lot of it during harvest seasons.

One of the reasons I switched from OTR to local trucking. Less $ but my mind and body are thanking me for the switch.

I could be wrong, but I think the white dotted lines indicate two lanes of traffic travelling in the same direction so the truck driver was driving the wrong way. It's not in America so idk for sure. @Amata can I get a Goregrish community note pls.

What a clean crash. Sounded fuckin awesome and the bodies flying past like they were just debris was the cherry on top.
