poor buggers in the 2 cars the truck hit when it crossed the central reservation

Driver asleep? Mechanical failure?

At least it was quick - they were almost certainly dead within seconds of the accident! It's crazy how it veers so suddenly and also sharply!

I thought maybe the flashing light might have been a headlight passing through.

A lorry doesn't veer that sharply very easily. I very much doubt the driver fell asleep and caused it to swerve like that. I would guess a catastrophic mechanical failure or suicide.

a catastrophic mechanical failure - Looked like that to me too.

Real nasty one - feel for all involved.
