The incident occurred when a dump truck entered a right turn at the intersection at high speed. Simultaneously, a motorcyclist also navigated the turn. As the motorcycle, initially close to the curb, veered slightly outwards, the fast-approaching dump truck collided with it. The dump truck's wheels ran over the motorcycle, throwing the rider to the roadside. The motorcyclist miraculously escaped serious injury.
This incident underscores the importance of safe driving practices for all road users, especially those operating large vehicles and motorcycles. Drivers of large vehicles, including trucks, dump trucks, and container trucks, must reduce speed when making turns. These vehicles have extensive blind spots, which make it difficult to observe smaller vehicles and significantly increase accident risks, as seen in the video. For motorcyclists, it is crucial to stay close to the curb on narrow, single-lane roads to minimize the risk of collisions with larger vehicles.
