Narrative

Driver stated that unit jumped out of 2nd gear descending on haul road. Laden truck gathered speed as he attempted to re-engage. Jake brake was ineffective as were foot brakes because of frozen sand/dirt on roadway. While negotiating a curve the truck rolled onto its right side, rolling over both a sump barrier and berm, falling into a ditch 20' - 30' below road surface.
