Its not splitting hairs there is a clear difference between the two vehicle types. I am somewhat surprised that you and the OP are unable to see this but if you want to believe they are one of the same thats fine.
I would not go that far based on the limited information, far more likely that the driver was still drunk or drugged up from a Saturday night out, or for some reason pressed the accelerator hard believing it to be the brake.
Would a terrorist not prefer a truck and a larger crowd.
Still no...
