    That's poor strapping to the trailer bed. That pole came from the back through the cab and out in front of the truck. The driver should be charged with failing to adequately fasten his load. Not sure if that what it is called, but it is what happened.

    This is assuming the driver still has his head and upper half attached to the rest of his body!

    Nearly 3 short tons each! Damn. And the guy was uninjured. Phantom car swerved in front of him. You have to wonder if he was playing on his phone, or on something illegal.
