Who takes the fall on this? The driver or the guy running the stick?

OOOF
That is going to be an expensive mistake to clean up. -
Just wondering what caused the load to shift, prior to the video clip.
It looks Like a Diamond brand trl. They are not to forgiving if you load them over capacity from my understanding.
Hope the driver is ok.
Any one know the company who had the opps?
Me I would of set her down on the road way and coned it off and tried to fix the leaning issue, not try and get it to the left leaning shoulder.. -
Looks (to me, anyway) that the road is slanted and the tractor might have gotten a little too far twards the dirt with the dolly/tractor, and then it went.
-
As soon as it tipped over about 10 phones came out, didn't see anyone running to check on the driver.
Big Don, The Challenger, Hammer166 and 1 other person Thank this. -
lol, true.......

So glad the guy operating the dolly was so concerned about the driver, man he was moving when the truck tipped over! What would appear to me is, they wanted to back down the dirt road, which someone would need to steer the rear dolly, slight slant in the road plus movement of dolly, and possible the load not being center properly, fault might just fall on both driver and the guy operating the dolly
NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
That's exactly what I was thinking. That, and the dude strolling around/under the load seemed to not be very concerned (with either the massive f**kup, NOR with his personal safety!) by the look of it....NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
Drivers are expendable. But those "photographic moments" pass quickly. Just ask the folks who will film someone drowning, or burning to death, when they could actually help them, if they'd put the dam camera/phone down!
"semi" retired, Mudguppy and 281ric Thank this. -
I don't know any details other then the video is a couple years old at least. I remember seeing it a while back.
NavigatorWife Thanks this.
