The traffic incident involved a motorcyclist speeding to overtake a truck on the left. On a narrow road with a slippery surface from sand and dirt, the motorcycle lost traction, swerved, and the rider fell directly into the path of the truck's wheels. The motorcycle was thrown aside, and the rider was run over by the truck. The extent of injuries is currently unknown.
Drivers should avoid overtaking on narrow lanes, poor road surfaces, or where debris is present. Upon encountering sand, gravel, mud, or slippery, uneven road surfaces, drivers must reduce speed and maintain stable steering.
If a truck occupies the entire lane, never attempt to squeeze past and overtake, as there will be no space or time to react to unexpected situations. Motorcyclists should observe far ahead, ensuring a dry road surface, clear visibility, and sufficient space for a decisive overtake. If any risk factors are present, such as potholes, sand, heavy traffic, or curves, it is best to patiently stay behind.
