## Narrative

Hauling 4000 gallons of water up steep grade, truck came out of gear. Operator, unable to get it back in gear, decided to back truck down the hill. Watching for traffic on the right, he negotiated a turn to the left going backward. He failed to see a high spot on the bank and the left drive tires went up on this spot causing the water to shift laying the truck on its side.
