I hate people who speed ridiculously in heavy traffic, or especially on the streets. I will never street race someone, nor will I go nuts in traffic on the freeway.
The car cut him off then hit the brakes. We don't know what went through the drivers mind, but it was probably something like this in a split second "go straight, kill ricer and possibly all the people in the 4 cars in front of him" or "swerve and hope for the best". I'm glad he picked the later, unfortunately it killed him.

Another thing to keep in mind; the night before another street racing crash put 11 people in the hospital on the same highway, on the EXACT same stretch (between 88 and 89), and it was all over the news. I guarantee the truck driver knew about it. So ya, I'd say selfless is probably the word of the day here.
