A cyclist on the far right lane heads straight while the truck on his left decides to make a right turn. Truck driver fails to notice (or maybe ignores?) the cyclist and hits him. Cyclist goes under the truck, body squished by the first time a wheel goes over him, while his head is forced to eject his brain matter when the second tire finally gets him there.

I'm a bit confused about their road. The truck's lane shows that it allows the truck to head left, straight, or right. But isn't the path going to the right a bit too small to allow two lanes to make a right turn at the same time? Or maybe that's not where he's supposed to make a right turn and there's another path where he should've done it? Chinese traffic movement is a bit confusing to me.

The cyclist looked like his intention was to move forward from his lane, so he probably thought the truck was gonna move forward or turn right somewhere else. He didn't look like he was expecting that truck to make a right turn right at that spot. Very strange.

Here in the US, I haven't encountered any roads like that. At least from what I've seen on the road, if the two rightmost lanes are allowed to make a right turn, then the rightmost lane is only allowed to make a right turn (it has a Right Turn Only sign), while the second rightmost lane can only move forward or make a right turn to the middle or outermost lane. The road would also have two or more lanes instead of just one of course.

The far right lane is a bike only lane.
