to me, it looks like the White lorry DELIBERATELY causes that, maybe a suicide thing.

he turns at the exact moment so as to collide with an oncoming wagon head on.

i call a suicide

Hope not but it all lucks a bit sudden for mechanical failure or falling asleep etc looks like it swerves on purpose and it swerves again just before impact with oncoming truck

RIP makes you think twice

RIP makes you think twice
look closely, the sudden swerve before it hits the other wagon osactually caused by a car hitting it head on, that car is then pinned to the front of the wagon and then smashed into the concrete wall on the other side.

fewk me thats a nasty way to go....if the impact didnt kill them then the fire certainly did, fire, what a horrible way to go.

Look even closer and you will see there isn't one car there's actually two, one tailgating the other
