Step One. Insure that everyone is moved out of harms way.
Step Two. Insure that the area is marked so that nobody enters
Step Three. Now is the time to try to look to stopping the collapse. And how to stop it always depends on where, what.
The load is replaceable, people are not and are the only thing that matters.

A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
