No wonder the poor trucky had a Heart Attack after he saw what he had don.

Sad all round.

Pulling someone over for speeding is not an emergency. Shouldnt be used for any reason but to have as an emergency lane, ie to swerve into...

RIP to these Police. :-(
Car was speeding excessively.
Dashcam showing it passing cars in the left lane doing probably 200kmh.
