    It’s possible they thought the truck was full of explosives, and was trying to blow up the bridge to the Coast Guard island.

      Sure, still not an excuse.

        The driver was approaching them kinda aggressively and weirdly in a place where no cars should be at that time.

        If you want to make an analogy it’s like a guy approaching the cops while threateningly waving a weapon.
