olly was going on about that yesterday. It is apparently quite common.

[Mozza]

Thats madness, Poor fooker!!

[penfold]

i think it's pretty obvious why it happened. the driver is obviously running late and forgot to lower the tipper before setting off:blushing:

Should be interlocked so you can only use crawler gears with the back up.

[Alex Reid]

hahaha fnatastic glad he wasnt killed like but even so story to tell the gand kids!

[Treewolf]

Could've been a lot worse.

 

Anyone remember back in Feb 2008 when a tipper truck leaving a worksite did the same thing to a footbridge over the railway near Loughborough, just as a train was approaching? The train derailed but miraculously no-one was seriously injured.

 

If I was the bloke on the bridge in this clip I would've been legging it back the way I came.
