They police car literally overtook the truck very quickly, went a few hundred metres up the road, got out of the car and walked onto the road. Can you explain why the did it this way. Am I missing something?

Easy, because most of the time you sit behind a truck (off to one side so you are in their mirrors) for km after km and they do not see you (because they don't check their mirrors on a straight highway) and they don't hear you (because the engine is loud and they have the stereo blaring over that).
Happens to us all the time at work. We sit there for ages changing siren tone, flashing lights etc and they have no idea we are there.
I am sure he made a judgement that the truck had sufficient time to stop, did it stop or did it run him over?
