looks like speed was a major factor
Disagree.
It shure didn't help.
The truck was doing 66 mph when he got passed by the rv. I'm no expert but at the rate he passed the truck my guess he was traveling in the high 70s.
Simple to see. Would he have lost control at 20MPH? 30? 40? 50? 60?
Obviously excessive speed caused him to lose control. It is just unclear how much speed it took to exceed this drivers ability to cope with a flat tire. Front blow outs happen and very very few end up like this. This particular driver could not handle it even if he was going less than the posted speed limit.
