looks like driver might have been going to fast with a top heavy load but that my opinoin

City and State workers dont usually get in a hurry, but about the only way that accident can happen is he turned that corner way too fast for the top heavy load that he had. He just wasnt thinking about that as he slammed around that corner. Maybe he was a new hire that formerly drove private dump trucks paid by the load and was driving accordingly.

Can you say Opsie? I sure would hate to explain that to my boss.

You all look again. The tractor was not chained or the chain broke or came loose.

The trailer is level.

What was the car doing that close in the first place.

Looks to me like the truck was making a left hand turn. Load was leaning to the outside when the car ran the light, hit the trailer with just enouh force to tip the load towards them... lol, I really don't have a clue

Why would you think the car ran a light? Just because the light is red? Could have been green when the accident happened.

No....look at the pic. I clearly looks like the trailer wen on over with the tractor.

It looks like the car was turning left to go down the road the truck was coming from.

I agree that it looks like he was going a bit too fast for the load.

Well, I guess the truck could have ran the light and pulled out in front of them... I said that I really don't have a clue...
