A lot of assumptions here.
From the perspective of the red truck driver: the idiot white car could have stopped in order not to hit a pedestrian. If you were in the red truck, you *might* have known, depending on visibility, that there wasn't someone on the freeway in front of the stupid driver. Maybe. So tagging the white car is forgivable if no ped but if the red driver couldn't see, then you avoid the white car if at all possible.
The big rig probably had no way to see if there was a ped on the freeway in front of the white car. You have to do whatever the hell you can to stop and not hit that car.
I'd like to hear Speedy's take on this.

You instinctively react to try to not collide. But I prefer self preservation so I think I would do what I could to keep my truck upright including hitting the guardrails. I never outdrove my ability to stop to avoid a collision, always leaving room, even for a stopped car.
But I did avoid killing an old woman who did a u-turn through a concrete median barrier (Jersey barrier) on the interstate, missing her by a hair in my empty flatbed rig, by doing a quick lane change onto the left shoulder as she drove into my lane. When they are coming at you going the wrong way, there is not much to do but react by steering to miss them rather than braking.
I hope they caught that driver in the white car.
