    If this is somewhere in the Czech Republic (as the title would indicate) the truck would be left drive so the side of the truck that gets demolished when it hits the guard rail would be opposite the driver, however when it drops it appears the left side of the cab is heading toward the ground so it would hit first. Either way a side impact of that magnitude at the bottom of the drop would probably do severe damage to the spine at the very least. Hoping for the best, fearing the worst though.

    Carrying liquids in a tanker is difficult because if your cargo is suddenly put in motion its momentum takes over the driving.
    If you can't make it precise make it adjustable.

    I think the issue was the truck driver tried to avoid collision. Then corrected, but the car hit the front left tire. This screwed the entire physics of the situation. Especially already being in a turn of the road.
