I wonder if the driver became incapacitated....

The reddit consensus (for what it's worth) is that the driver forgot they were towing a plane. Not sure how plausible that is.

If a forward-facing driver forgot it’s a tow, isn’t there any obvious cue to remind an aircraft was still back there? Sounds like similar to a ‘forgetting a gear-down action’ or ‘the control lock left in for a takeoff’ incident category of accident.
