The one car whose license I can see in the foreground in the first part is not a U.S. license.

Also, the truck carrying the stuff that exploded was going much faster than the rest of the traffic.

Great Icebreaker video for a HAZMAT Class demonstrating the dangers of insecure high pressure cylinders in a highway accident. This was an accident that occurred in Russia. Russians have dashcams in order to provide additional evidence in court due to guard against police corruption and insurance fraud.
