The rock is initially traveling at the speed of the truck and appears to strike the road with a pointy tip with the bulk of its mass above that point and rearward from the surface of the rock facing us as it strikes the road.
Its direction of travel left, right, or center would be a function of where the center of mass was on the rock as it struck the road. And, given the velocity of the truck, the kinetic energy could have made the rock ‘jump’ until that energy was absorbed.
But, sad to say, I haven’t studied physics and dynamics in over 40 years and the laws of nature may have changed!
