Yes, maybe no rear lights but lots of reflective paint and decals.  How could bike miss seeing that....unless riding with no headlight....or drunk.  RIP, but no excuse for such a totally preventable accident.

No time of day given, but i'm guessing no hazard lights on, it should be the tow trucks driver's responsibility to affix a light of some description, magnetic or otherwise, although plenty of reflective tape on the rear if your headlight is working correctly. 

No lights on the truck + no headlight on the bike = death.
