have you every encountered this 40kph law on a freeway? everyone has to slam on their bakes, now imagine doing that in a Truck.

Of course there will be a reason the truck drove into that lane. But why are people just jumping on the bandwagon and assuming/asserting it's because all of the other traffic were jumping on their brakes to get down to 40km/h to pass the scene as required by the law? Any evidence to support that?

I heard the Police Commissioner on the radio saying that the truck driver involved is in hospital because he experienced a medical episode. It is unclear as to whether the episode was as a result of the incident or was in play before the incident.

So initial evidence suggests there may be other factors in play here other than just a truck taking avoiding action because people were slamming on their brakes.
