It is strange formulation.

Would it be formulated in regular way, the formulation MUST include the direction of truck traveling.
Then the situation would be correctly determined.

It is even MORE STRANGE, because the first part of the condition directly says that the car moved north on a straight line road.

My impression is that the person who prepared the post, m-m-m, how to say it . . .

I have no words to express my impression in the politely-corrected terms . . .

Sorry.

Hope, you do understand me . . .
