What is going on here? Is one of them going the wrong way down the road?

Looks like a two lane road (sans lane divider lines) where the truck driver didn't stay on his side...reason I think this is that the GT86 driver didn't seem to hesitate or slow down much upon seeing the oncoming truck. I sure as shit would pull off to the side if I saw a big-ass truck barreling towards me going the wrong way
I wonder if that last second jerk of the wheel would have caused a worse-handling car to lose traction and hit more of the truck? |

I've seen a LOT of driving videos on this forum that make me cringe, but that was a pretty good reaction from the BRZ/86 driver. Didn't appear to do much wrong and certainly reduced the severity of the crash. |

It looked to me like the truck didn't stay on his lane. He went too fast on a slippery road, and when he had to turned (where the road is curved), he didn't turn much (to have traction). There some snow left on both side of the road.
