VIDEO: Pickup just drives straight into the back of a stopped work truck

A clearly distracted pickup drives straight into the back of a stopped construction truck in this dash cam clip. 

In the video, a semi truck with a dash cam records a silver pickup traveling in the right lane straight towards a stopped construction truck with a crash cushion attached. The pickup driver appears to realize that the truck is parked far too late and swerves at the last second, but clips the crash cushion at a high speed anyway, causing the pickup to spin out of control into the path of the oncoming semi truck. 

The semi truck then crashes into the wrecked pickup as construction workers stare in disbelief. 

“I think the pickup driver is in sleep mode,” commented one viewer.
