"The truck gave a sudden lurch as it was hit by a strong gust of wind."

The truck gave a sudden lurch as it was hit by a strong gust of wind.

In this sentence, does this sentence mean that the truck gave a sudden lurch because it was hit by a strong gust of wind or does it mean that the truck gave a sudden lurch when it was hit by a strong gust of wind? How could you tell?

Thank you.

Best wishes,
