It’s often hard for a dump truck driver to see a cyclist, but how does a cyclist not see a dump truck?
The cyclist and dump truck are traveling road together (cyclist on shoulder, truck in roadway just behind), and the cyclist hits a pot hole or some gravel and slides from the shoulder into the roadway. The heavy dump truck cannot stop in time. No biggie.
