    I'm not sure... the vehicles are designed to crumple to limit the degree of impact... this could be why she wasn't killed..... The damage to the Pickup doesn't look as if excessive speed was involved... Plus the pickup is stopped about 20m past the fallen motorcycle - thats a pretty decent stopping distance, especially in the wet. 

     

    As often as speeding is the obvious cause of failure of a vehicle to slow and respond in time to an 'event' unfolding in front of them, this time it looks (to me anyway) as if there was not much the pickup could have done to avoid the incident.
