Translation:

In Kamiansk, a truck driver killed a motorcyclist by driving into the oncoming lane

The accident occurred on Sicheslavsky Shlyach street, the driver of a DAF XF 460 ET with a semi-trailer crossed into the oncoming lane, where he collided with an oncoming Kawasaki motorcycle.

The driver of the two-wheeler died on the spot from his injuries.

This looks like an unfortunate case of target fixation. You tend to move toward where you look and he was looking at the giant truck heading toward him.

Edit: Target fixation can also help you predict how other drivers are going to move. A driver who wants to change lanes will often veer slightly toward that lane as they check their mirror and blind spot. A second later you will see them turn on their blinker (or not if drivers around you suck) and then shift lanes.
