Ok, now I see the flashing yellow. I just saw the red light to the right. Guess I'd be dead too. Fuck.

It looks yellow on the left corner. Still should be cautious and slow down which was a bit late for Motorcycle dude and dudette. It’s his fault they’re dead.

Entire intersection has flashing yellow lights. sometimes due to a malfunction but also done on purpose after certain night hours. no one wants to wait a redlight in the middle of the night at an empty intersection so they leave it to the drivers and riders to use common sense which is approaching any intersection with low speed. Big white line also means you have to stop briefly and look left and right if it's safe to cross as now coming from the right has the right of way.

So imo the truck just went ahead without stopping and the biker has too much speed to stop at any given time or wasn't planning to stop either.

Being a biker i would have been way more cautious in these kind of situations but both were at fault.

I'm sorry but it looks like that they did nothing to avoid their fate. Didnt swerve, didnt slow down... Was that truck invisible to them?
They weren't going that fast, and the truck was already half way so they must have seen it surely?

The truck is at fault because (as already said previously) in some dangerous places, between 00:00 and 6:00 AM, the lights blink yellow so you don't have to stop, but since it's an intersection of two avenues, there's no "right of passing". By brazilian law, in this case, who comes from the right side have the "right of passing" (don't know how it's called in english).

They both failed to stop as that big white line substitutes when the traffic lights are not working.

Actually it means a full stop and then proceed in a safe manner after looking both ways to cross the intersection.

Indeed the trucker didn't stop or slowed down as should have looked if any traffic was coming from the right and so the bikers should have but they had a better clear look to their right seeing no one coming from the right so they didn't decide to stop but go ahead at considerable speed imo. So my guess is that the biker's eyesight was more focussed to the right.

With buildings blocking views and knowing many, many don't follow any traffic rules, or knowing them, they should have left the lights on during the night (but sometimes there's a malfunction) or at least pain't some shark teeth at one of these two roads so they know they have to yield to other traffic.

Yes, you are right. What I meant is when a colision occurs, people try to find who was at fault, because they don't want to pay for the damage.
