He had a sidetipper semi loaded with scrap steel,went off the left side of the road where there was a steep enbankment,snatched it back but the trailer went over the side.He pulled off a full 180deg spin around including a 1 and a half roll over for the whole lot spilling his scrap.The marks on the road are outstanding!!!!Cab was squashed down to the drivers chair,rear diff was torn out of the prime mover.He climbed out bleeding a bit from cuts etc.Was then flown to Perth with suspected back injuries.
Boss is away for a few days,had to send one of my blokes down with a loader to firstly clear the scrap off the hwy then load it up into our sidetipper and cart it away.Heavy recovery took the truck/trailer away.
Good win for us,we get paid for the machinery hire,plus the owner of the scrap also passed ownership of the scrap onto the shire,its now part of our stack at the tip.

Lucky lad, but don't pass judgement on the driver's abilities until all the facts are in. I've only ever tipped one over, the cops completely exonerated me.

LUCKY MAN!!!
My bloke who went out for the cleanup couldnt believe how he managed to spin the whole rig 180deg before the roll over.
Talk about a ride on the WILD side.
