That is right up the road up here on Donner Pass.  Pretty steep grade right there in that area (from 16' elevation to over 7,000' in eighty miles), could be that his brakes went.

May have been brakes but most likely just the speed, at the very beginning of the video as he passes the truck camera he swerves very slightly back to the left and it seems to set up the weight shift that bites him.

No telling but I can see why some of the companies run those video cameras in their trucks to cover the a$$ of the driver and the company.
