Yes, the video shows the truck in the left lane overtaking the truck in the right, but it certainly wasn’t at a very rapid pace. The delta between speeds seemed pretty small.
Well, how long was the truck in the left lane? If he had just pulled out to pass before the video started then it's going to take him a while to gain some speed to complete the pass. It's takes a lot to accelerate 80K lbs of truck/trailer...
I haven't looked at the replay in a couple weeks, but you can see the MH overtaking the left lane truck at a rapid rate if you look into the trucks right hand side mirror. As the MH comes along the left lane semi the rate the MH is passing seems to slow. Whether the left land semi is speeding up or it's an optical illusion we'll never know.
Based on how long it took the vehicle to reach the accident scene that the left land truck had just passed it would seem the semi was in the left lane for a "while." I think there is a little more to the scenario than what that 30 sec video shows.
The MH is STILL 100% at fault.
