If you examine the photo closely it appears that the camper slide forward in the bed and flipped up into the area.
The civilian first responder reported that
This alone indicates that the camper truck did not have it's brakes fully engaged as claimed (by the truck driver?) report that the camper slammed on its brakes.
The truck camper was traveling fast enough to impact the tree with enough force to break the camper loose from it's tie downs - and strike the driver in the head. This would indicate that the truck camper had not slowed down - let alone slam on it's brakes.
From the simple evidence available herein, I have to conclude that the camper was rear-ended at speed.
