Closest I can find is Drives Like Crazy, but isn't quite this.
I've seen this before as well, watching a classic episode of the The Twilight Zone. A man is trying to cross a road, but has trouble due to slippery shoes. A truck runs over him, kills him, and keeps going.
It's definitely tropable, though can't find a page for it. You should take it to the YKTTW.
is there a trope for trucks pretty much driving themselves? seen a lot in western tv and movies, but also in some anime, usually someone will be in the middle of the road for some reason and a truck will hurl his or her way. the truck won't stop or make any evasive moves, at most it will hunk but it will continue driving, even after something happens. examples are from "the frogger" episode in 'seinfeld', a truck destroys Goeroge's frogger machine and keeps on going like nothing happens.in BTVS, Cordelia, blind from a spell stands in the middle of the road and a delivery truck is driving her way (not at such a high speed even) and doesn't bother to stop. may also happen when character is driving and going off the lane, a truck (always a truck!) will come at him (honking, of course) which will cause the character to realize he's off the lane and quickly go back.
