18 Wheelers are a lot like trains.
They just dont stop that fast and if you do something stupid!

Since it was a tanker it could have been a LOT worse.
Good that the truck driver was able to keep a handle on it.

The driver knew that he should maintain a safe (reasonable and proper) following distance. That's why he is at fault and will spend some serious time in the can.
