Narrative

The scraper started to proceed down an incline following the curvature of the road when the tail-end began to skid towards the outer edge of road. The scraper bowl contacted the ground and the push block also nosed into the road, causing the scraper to roll several times down an incline. Operator escaped through the rear cab window after unsecuring his seat belt.
