I live in an area where logging trucks are not that uncommon...

Wow. Way to secure your load. There are many logging trucks on the roads near our cottage. I am always sure something like this is going to happen to me.

The reasons for me to move south just keep building and building.

I think his load was secure, the pick up truck drove into the load. My guess is the log truck was stopped and the pick up speared him.

I find that people who drive big trucks are usually jackasses and shouldn't be on the road to begin with.

The truck drivers are saying the same thing about all the 4wheelers on the road. Half the people driving have no idea how difficult it is driving a tractor & trailer safely down the road.

I understand what you are saying but that doesn't look like what happened to me. The length of the logs matches the length of the trailer's bed. Why would anything be hanging over the back edge?

If the pickup rear ended the trailer, I would have impacted on the trailer and maybe on the ends of the logs. If the logs shook loose from impact, I find it highly unlikely that the logs would be able to spear the pickup.

Any logging truck I've ever seen, they never have the logs overhanging the back end of the trailer.

They're just really long logs. Anything hanging so many inches/feet off the back of a vehicle needs to be marked with a red flag or something to warn people they're sticking out and you can see that red flag on one of the logs.

Why are the front wheels of the pickup off the ground? I can't really work out the accident physics here...

Looks to me like the pickup dude impaled himself on the logs. I think its perfectly legal to have the load to be longer than the trailer. As for the front wheels of the pickup being off the ground, the ends of the logs are much lower than where he ended up. I think pickup dude was going WAY too fast and hit the logs with a serious clip of speed.

Fatality... oh yes.
