He had just started to accelerate to overtake a car towing a sheep trailer. As he passed the sheep trailer he saw that the Right indicator was flashing. Lights on trailer not working. The car turned right into a field and chucked him. It may have been complacency or just bad luck or bad timing. Luckily he walked away.
