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...

Dukes of Hazard IIRC.
Yeah, I think everyone agrees the RV driver was 100 plus at fault.
What I think some of us question is whether the truck driver did all that he could to avoid an accident. Maybe I'm just old school, but I believe we all have an obligation to do all we can to avoid an accident and probable loss of life. And while none of us can say for sure from just a short clip, it does not look to me like the truck driver made any attempt to slow down prior to being forced into the median. My guess is it would not have made much difference if he had tried, but trying would count for something.
