The driver of the white pick up must have been killed? Or at least heavily injured?
About the first video : isn't there a light or a beeping sound in a truck if the back isn't fully down? As a truckdriver, you should feel that the truck acts different? Or am I wrong?

In 'theory' the body should not really be able to lift, as it is driven from a PTO pump which has to be in mesh with the gearbox. If it has somehow 'dropped' into mesh when he is driving, it would however, lift the body. It's more wonder the PTO pump &/or gearbox did'nt just go bang as it were. As the old joke goes 'raining Datsun cogs'.
