Narrative

The fuel truck was going up a ramp. The lights of a passing haul truck made it hard for the operator to see. The fuel truck hit the berm on the edge of the haul road and tipped the rear of the fuel truck onto its left side. The operator cab portion stayed upright. The operator was transported via ambulance to South Lincoln Medical Center for injuries he received from the incident.
