The river is usually only about a metre deep at that point as well. Very lucky dude indeed.

The story says the bike ran up the arse of the truck when it braked but the pictures look like the bike was heading in the opp direction and
hit the truck when it crossed into his lane. What say you?

[HenryDorsetCase]

the story says the truck was northbound and the rider was southbound.

Where does it say the bike ran up the arse of the truck???? Bloody truck drivers fault

Police said the truck had been travelling north over the bridge at the time of the accident.
The driver had been looking at the swollen water levels and had not noticed cars backed up in front of him, Senior Sergeant Malcolm Johnston said.
"The truck's gone sideways, careered into the guardrail and ended up hanging over the guardrail."

The motorcyclist had been travelling south, had "slammed on the brakes and has clipped the truck".

Now says the motorbike was travelling the opposite direction.

Where is Katman to tell us the motorbike should have predicted this event when he noticed the truck driver wasn't looking at traffic ahead of himself.

[unstuck]

Its gods fault for inventing rivers that man had to build narrow bridges to cross in the first place, I say blame that fucker.

[HenryDorsetCase]

we need a headcount. Willytheekid comes in from that way.

looks like I am going to have to cut back on the gin in my cornflakes, as u were!

[SMOKEU]

I'm not surprised that this happened since those bridges are uncomfortably narrow for the speed limit.
