We came upon this accident scene about 20 minutes after it happened. Stopped to see if we could help, the driver was already up on the road
and said he was not hurt and ok. Not sure why he was over to the side but the soft shoulder got hold and pulled him right over. The flat deck flipped over
throwing the skidder off completely. Just lucky he did not get hurt.

Looking at the tire tracks, it looks like he cut the corner too close.
Not paying attention, or speed, sleepy.

Lucky to walk away unhurt.

Seems to me I'm seeing a lot more ship wrecks in recent years. Saw one the last time I drove across the state.

Looks like the driver was suffering a case of cranial-rectal inversion..

If not 1-800-Un-employment, then he's sure gonna get an arse chewing.

There always can be several reasons why the accident occurred on that turn..
The local police dept.would conduct a thorough investigation and issue tickets if necessary
In the end though he is extremely lucky to walk away
