Yes it would, ldtm.
from time to time I also encounter idiots that think they can cross over my lane turning right, causing me to slam my breaks.

Possibly an error in the translation, as it would make more sense if the elderly driver had turned in front of the pickup truck. If the pickup truck driver were speeding (very likely) and the 72-year old driver misjudged the speed of the on-coming vehicle (also possible) then the sequence of events leading to this accident becomes more plausible.
