Had a similar situ happen to me yesterday. Biking thru a few curves...an excavating truck comes from behind.
I'm hugging the 4" patch of asphalt on the side and there is a car coming towards us.
The dump truck flies past me while crossing the center-line. The oncoming car has no choice but to drive into the shoulder.
If the truck would have just let off the throttle for a few seconds...the car would have cleared both of us.
I'm surprised that the car didn't get pulled into the ditch because of the loose gravel.
