When impatience hurts!
It appears that this Class C driver paid a big price for their impatience! Seems all five people in the Class C were taken to the hospital. If you watch closely you will see what appears to be a lady...

the C is no longer passing the semi on his left as quickly.
Whether that's just a change in perspective as the c comes into range of the camera, something that I think I'm seeing but isn't reality or the semi in lane 2 accelerating trying to close out the opening so he doesn't get cut off from the right lane by the MH.
Or, is trying to get past the semi in the right lane as fast as possible. I know that if I am trying to pass a vehicle and the speed differential is small, I will speed up to get on past. Then, after getting a few car lengths ahead, slow back down to my preset speed.
Yes I do the same, no need to drive in a Blue Angel formation at interstate speeds side by side w a semi.
Since the driver of the semi stated he had passed a vehicle in the right lane and was now preparing to pass the semi it would seem to me the semi driver should have already been in passing mode and traveling at the maximum "legal" speed already and shouldn't have needed to accelerate again, IF that's what occurred.
Anyway the MH is still 100% at fault.
