Mercedes-Benz Garbage Truck Rolls Down Hill

This is my dashcam footage on a quiet country lane in Wales. I pulled over behind the car in front of me as a rubbish truck approached us. Unfortunately, he pulled over too far, onto a soft verge, and proceeded to roll over the bank and down the hill. Luckily, the drop wasn’t too big, and the lorry rolled 3-4 times. I am seen running up to the incident and feared the worse. After a few moments, one of the drivers pulled himself out of the window (the lorry was on its side), and shouted to me that they were both okay, and not injured so didn’t require an ambulance. I rang the police though, who were out within 5 minutes, closing the road. I was so relieved no one was seriously hurt though.

There’s comfort in driving a small car. It’s easy to maneuver around, parking is relatively a cinch, and when the road gets narrower than usual, you’ll more likely not end up getting involved in an accident.
 
That last part was the exact opposite of what happened with this huge Mercedes-Benz garbage truck in the UK. Caught in dashcam footage and submitted to YouTube’s ViralHog, the truck was seen coming from an opposite direction on a fairly narrow road. The Hyundai i30 in front slowed down and took caution, while the truck did the same.
 
However, in an effort to avoid scraping the oncoming vehicles, the truck went too far to the opposite side and miscalculated the distance. Unfortunately, the road ended on soft soil that couldn’t support the weight of the massive truck (or lorry, as what it is called in that part of the world).
 

Because of this, the truck dropped to its side and continued to roll over down the hill as seen in the video embedded atop this page. According to the video sender, the truck rolled three or four times before coming to a halt.
 
The driver of the car with the dashcam footage rushed to check the driver and his passenger. The truck was on its side after the altercation, and one of the two occupants was able to pull himself out. He signaled to the good samaritan that they were okay and that there wasn’t a need to call for an ambulance.
 
The police came after the witness called for help, immediately closing the road within five minutes. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the accident, but we know we’ve learned a thing or two from this mishap.

    Thanks for your posting. I also feel that laptop computers have grown to be more and more popular currently, and now will often be the only form of computer employed in a household. The reason being at the same time actually becoming more and more cost-effective, their processing power is growing to the point where these are as powerful as desktop out of just a few years ago.
