Judging by the photos, the truck was parked well off the road, to the left of the motorbike lane so, in my opinion, the owner is in the clear. It's the driver of the motorbike who is to blame. Very unfortunate about the young girl, but her life might have been saved if she had been wearing a proper helmet.

Head injuries? Due to...?

[LivinginKata]

And naturally the parked vehicle owner will be blamed ... and have to pay compensation to the families. But what about blood test for the bike driver ... helmets ??

Sorry for the kid, this is a direct result of an 80 MPH bike and a 5 mile an hour brain controlling it. The law should be if you have no license, insurance or not wearing a crash helmet, it is always the motorcyclist fault as they should not be on the road in the first place.
