Absolutely to blame I'd say. (guess we dont know yet..)

Imagine this :

2 trucks in left lane doing 100kmh not too far apart, some cars brake, then the first truck brakes a bit hard, then the 2nd CANNOT see to the left why this is, so does an emergency braking swerve into the EMERGENCY lane to avoid to come across 2 police cars. 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. :-(
