Dump truck tipped.

You would think ADOT would train it's dump truck drivers to avoid stupid moves like this. Obviously not experienced with the concept of low center of gravity for handling!

Oh my!! I hope the driver wasn't hurt.

I saw something last week similar to this...made me cringe. An 18 wheeler was making a left turn - took it a bit too sharp and the entire thing was on it's side...ouch! Thankfully no one was hurt...

I think they were working on the shoulder, no skid marks or damage to the truck. Bet his self-esteem was hurt though.

Last night I thought I was going to be witness to a semi jack-knifing itself. :impatient Fortunately that turned out better than I thought it was going to.

dang...that dump truck is worth more than a 360modena, probably... they need to train their drivers better and not waste the village's money!
