Corrected entry: It seems that the truck that hit Peter had enough time to see him standing there and therefore at least hit the brakes, but it was going at full speed.

Correction: Peter had just jumped off an overpass and into a busy street full of oncoming traffic. There's no way of knowing if the driver, who was hardly expecting a pedestrian to suddenly appear in front of his truck, actually saw Peter in time to react to the situation safely. Slamming on the brakes of a large truck in the middle of a busy highway is potentially quite dangerous.
