I dont know the full story here.
But seems like more proof that its not worth the hassle of driving a truck on UK roads.From the very limited information I read on the news article it seems like the sprinter van was up the truckers arse. When the HGV applied his breaks said van went into the truckers arse without any lube.
You missed the very important part which doesn’t make it that cut and dry. The lorry turned out from a side road turning right as the van was approaching from the left, the lorry driver saying he thought he had enough time to get out which probably means he didn’t.
