7. It's only by sheer luck that nobody else got killed.

First of all, fifty is way, *way* too fast for a truck to be taking that curve. Hell, driving it at 40 in a car in anything but very light traffic is iffy. Second, the curve, road layout change, and speed change are signed waaaaaaay in advance of the actual curve - flashing lights, the whole nine yards. You'd need to intentionally ignore the signage to try to take that turn at that speed. There's simply no way you could miss it. This guy intentionally disregarded the warnings.
