Perhaps the intention to commit suicide had been there for some time. She obviously had no thoughts for the poor lorry driver or her family and friends.
It may well be that the reason for the suicide was the failure of the medical services and her family, or her existing state of mind that caused her to take this drastic action.

There is no excuse for checking out in this way. Jumping in front of a train or lorry or bus is massively inconsiderate to the mess left behind and has serious long term impact on the innocent driver. The police have the unenviable task of scraping the remains out from under the lorry's wheels, and the drivers life if ruined. Selfish selfish selfish.
