We arrived at the scene within a minute or two of it happening. The white vehicle tried to make a u-turn narrowly missing one of my club members on his motorcycle. The tipper truck then collided with the car as it attemted to turn. Some of the people with us from other cars and my members tried to help the people in the vehicle while the police stood by and watched. We eventually left as there was nothing further we could do.
