Dump Truck Operator Makes Horrible Move, Crashes into Lake

Twenty-three seconds is apparently all it takes to ruin your day and destroy your dump-bed semi truck. There are no details about the how or why this rig toppled over like this, so we just have to make some guesses.

The dump bed was not overloaded, and the driver was still raising the bed to dump it’s load, when it just tipped to the right and fell into the water beside the dump site. Unless there was an insane gust of wind, it would seem a mechanical failure would be the only explanation, unless the ground was uneven and threw the truck off balance as it neared the top of its lift.

Whatever the cause, this is a really crappy way for your day to go, with the rig likely totaled and the driver on the search for a replacement. We hope the driver wasn’t injured, which would only serve to further ruin his day.
