"....shadows". Saw 'em, wasn't sure which way & from where, what sun's position was - most of everything else was a guess. You might be on to something, though I don't think the car would've been going so fast, and the biker would usually see it a ways off - though I did stuff myself and my bike under a truck that swung out of an alley onto a street that I was turning onto a few decades ago.

My bike ended up just behind his front tire and I ended up just behind the rear tire.

We were both going slightly fast for a commercial area, and he was looking left as he was turning right, never saw me until the bike & truck met. I just slid off my seat and "body surfed" around the rear wheel.

Poor guy thought he killed me, just had road rash on my arm.

Look at the shadows of the PD vehicle, cop, the trees/shrubs and the vehicles moving in the same direction the bike was traveling......and then the truck’s.
