Did the truck properly signal? Did they have working brake lights? Did they slam on their brakes? Was something wrong with the road or the motorcycle itself? Is this a notoriously dangerous intersection? Even if something seems unlikely, letting the evidence speak for itself is the best way to ensure people get as much help as they can. It remains to be seen if those steps were ever taken here.
