I also don't think that the angle of the collision quite adds up. The 2 trucks seem to be pointing almost the same direction but the damage looks like the ford was T-boned. And just by looking at the picture for a while it looks like someone cropped a picture of the ford and just pasted it in front of the earth mover.
Just look at the ladder on the front of the big truck. Its bent pretty bad!!

Its quite humbling when you pass one of these things in a school bus and you aren't even looking at the top of the rim. Even more humbling when you're in a pickup. If I ever have to go up to McMurray (crossing my fingers I don't), I want to stop at the Oilsands Discovery Center.
