Narrative

The dozer operator assigned to level a section of haul road left the area without re-establishing a berm for dumping. A haul truck entered the dump area and upon backing up to dump allowed the right rear wheels of his unit to start over the edge of the fill causing the truck to roll over on its top. The operator who was seat-belted managed to remove himself and call for help.
