Speeding dump truck crash & burn on Nevada/Arizona border

well at least he didnt take anyone else with him

 

Well that was one hot load for certain

 

What roundabout? I'm guessing the reporter doesn't know a cloverleaf is not a roundabout.

 

I was on that job Wednesday night. It’s a case of inexperience and crappy equipment. The boy didn’t know how to come down that hill loaded and what to do if his brakes faded too much. We can all sit here and say what we all would’ve done but it wasn’t us taking that ride he did. We can all learn from ones mistake. Know your equipment. Don’t take your knowledge for granted.

 

My guess is that the driver had taken the off ramp and couldn't stop for the roundabout off the exit.

 

I did not know there was an off-highway roundabout there. Thank you for taking the time to post this.

Some roundabouts aren't well-advertised and the advised speed is 20 mph. I've been caught off guard once or twice.
