On a two-way road without lane markings, where each direction was wide enough for only one vehicle, a dump truck was seen speeding. As it approached a curve, the driver lost control, colliding with an oncoming motorcyclist who was riding near the center line. The impact propelled the motorcyclist and their bike to the right, causing them to strike a truck traveling in the same direction. The extent of injuries is currently unknown.

Drivers operating vehicles on two-way roads without clear lane markings must reduce speed and avoid reckless overtaking or lane encroachment, especially when navigating curves. Such dangerous driving behavior that leads to accidents can result not only in administrative fines but also potential criminal prosecution.

Motorcyclists should always maintain a vigilant lookout for distant traffic, anticipating situations where large vehicles might encroach on their lane. The safest practice is to ride close to the right shoulder, keeping clear of the middle of the road where larger vehicles frequently overtake.
