    The cab in the second truck crumpled like it was made out of paper.

    Love the way the asian guy gets and checks his car, seemingly not bothered by the carnage up ahead :(

    Did anyone think that after the 40sec mark it was going to get a hell of alot worse.

    Watched it the second time with the sound up. Nearly jumed out of my seat.

    Jesus that would've been some fright :)
    Lucky it was only a narrow angle of impact or it could've been very bad!

    I see their priorities are all over the place.

    They don't check if the guys are ok in the trucks and oddly enough the guy in the van comes back and checks the other guys vehicle before even looking at his own.

    Would make a much better AD for the RSA "Expect the unexpected".

    Looks like alright, but still doesn't explain why he veered left.
    Another thing that struck me about that clip was the absence of any brake lights or tyre smoke from the artic trailer which suggests its brakes were dodgy. I doubt the artic driver (assuming there was one!!!) wanted to slam into the rigid truck, especially since he would've been sitting in the bit that crumpled. Surely his engine was running to keep the air-brakes off the drums.
