I agree. Thats a frightening scene. A massive truck on its side is never a good thing

It's obvious what has happened.

The veh was diven by a P plater who was hooning, took corner to fast and rolled it.
As you can see the veh was way to powerful..

ROFL... jumped right over the cab of the prime mover? yeah right.

How about it was loaded too much on one side and overbalanced from the hill behind it.

It's common for belly scrapers to rollover, it's the nature of being articulated and in contact with the ground on slopes that cause it to happen more often. Scrapers don't like working on slopes.

The accident/fatality rate for these things in the US is 10 people per year.

John from Wally Cambells called me to help him put the scraper back on.... It fell of is what he said. But this must be the first ever accident from this mob, very good rep around town.

And that one through the bridge I have no idea about, but it is insane !!!!
