This is the only thing I can find right now:

 

[Grave]

He would drive that truck, hope hes alright.

 

[flyingpig]

hope he is okay

 

[waitin425]

And the rampant speculation starts in 3....2.....1...... Get well kassian

 

[NyQuil]

I'm guessing he got a good deal from the King of Trucks.

Hope all is well under the circumstances.

Looks like you could hit a tank head on with that truck and walk away without a scratch.

Hope he's OK.

It does, but don't dismiss the impact of airbags or whiplash can cause. Speaking from 1st hand experience, that airbag comes out very fast and if you aren't wearing your seatbelt, you can be bending forward a bit when the bag comes out. I got it right in the face and had a concussion.

Any accident, even a small one, can cause some nasty stuff.

I'm more concerned about what he hit. If it was a passenger car, then they're very likely in much worse condition than him. That truck is bombproof.

Yeah I had my airbag crush my glasses and nearly broke my nose.

hit a tree

It had to have been pretty large, considering the damage to the truck. Either way, hoping everyone makes it out okay.

Some more news:

 

[CanadienShark]

Yikes, hope he's alright.

 

[McDNicks17]

Makes sense.

I was going to say he hit some kind of pole with how the damage to the grill looks.

The vehicles today are designed to crumple in the front to absorb the force of the collision (known as crumple zones) but it doesn't absorb all of the impact. Hope he's okay.

Is there a giant decal on the hood?
Haha, hillbilly

I'm guessing it's one of those "Welcome to Montreal. Here's a free truck. Drive it around and advertise for us" type of things.

Ah, if that's the case, then fair enough.

 

[slocal]

I shudder whenever I hear about people hitting a tree. Those accidents do real damage to the vehicle and occupants. Hope all are ok.

 

[Farnham4top6]

Should have used a new XC90, would have walked away without a scratch.

 

[Isles5513]

No matter how this happened, I hope he's OK.

 

[Lunatik]

until I know everyone is okay, I'm not concerned with how
