I know what happened.

The pick up saw them clearly but suffering from big fish syndrome he pulled out of the intersection anyway.

Not his fault. Bigger vehicle wins the day again

 

So you witnessed the accident ?

 

And ... the bigger vehicle usually pays all the compensation. No win there ...

My interpretation from the pics, is that the pickup was turning into the small road and the speeding bike hit it in the back quarter panel. I couldn't say if the turn was made suddenly or if he used his indicators.
