The chase scene here reminds me of GTA car chases. Normally, trucks and other obstacles never get in your way when you're just exploring the open world. But for the sake of the mission, certain things are scripted in that are made to seem like they just randomly happened. Like here, where a truck swerves and flips over; but you never see any vehicles other than fork lifts driving around normally.
@l3illyl3ob: The disconnect is that, in reality, you'd likely be able to do much more than 10 crates a day if that's all you were doing. But then again, Shenmue is pretty bad at emulating reality.
