Narrative

While driving along a flat stretch of haul road, the operator lost control of the haul truck. The haul road was wet due to light snowfall. The truck skidded, the driver overcorrected and ran the truck up onto the dryer prairie beside the road. The trucks momentum caused the right tires to align and lay the truck on its right side.
