An image search for "Walmart truck" shows up something like this as exemplary of the backside of the truck: https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/walmart-truck-gm1081922326-290130951 https://www.istockphoto.com/photo/walmart-truck-gm1081922326..., and I'm not seeing any photos with that bar missing. Admittedly, the photo on the article does manage to almost perfectly obscure where the bar would have been. You can clearly see the ladder steps on the right, but the bar that would be below it is obscured by the lid of the EMTs' toolbox. Open up a larger version of the image in the article here (yay for URLs): https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tronc/PZYT4WOQVJDEJDTJD4YZLF6ROI.jpg https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tronc/..., and you can actually just make out the red/white flashing on the bar below the bottom rung of the ladder and the lid of the toolbox. So the bar was clearly there. It also more clearly shows that the bar cleaved through the frunk pretty easily.
