That'll polish right out...

Let's see. The woman saw two trucks engaged in dangerous driving, so she sped up behind them so she could film them with her cell phone...

Well, I'd say that we're looking at an At-Risk Survivor for the Darwin Awards.
 
Watch it frame by frame and take notice that the cracks appear and disappear and change shape. Also, what's the smoke from exactly? And, we're supposed to believe a woman (who works a desk job) was that calm that she didn't drop the camera when the impact occurred? No scream? No swearing? Seriously? But I guess if "jalopnik" says it's real, it must be real.

Not to mention - "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Wendy Cobb."

Copyright claim?!?! What for, exactly?

Ok copyright claim... the OP's link was to someone who reupped the video to get hits for their channel, so here is a link to the original video

I guess you were focused to much on the cracks and not what was happening.
The cracks change because the wood gets blown to a new angle after it impales the windsheild.
The "smoke" is fine particles of glass turned to dust from the force.

Why was she running a camera in the first place? "Cat and mouse?" What does that even mean? I guess we missed out on the "cat and mouse" that occurred before she turned the camera on.

Why does the vehicle towing the enclosed trailer not drive over or around the piece of lumber laying on the roadway?

Why is the vehicle towing the enclosed trailer seemingly not reactive to driving over the piece of lumber laying on the roadway?

Why does she file a "police report?" So she can point out how unsafe she was driving? When a stone gets kicked up on the highway and cracks your windshield, do you file a "police report?"

Why does someone decide to drive unsafely behind two large vehicles they witness supposedly driving unsafely?

How is it she manages to keep the point of impact mostly in frame after the impact?

Sketchy...
