Mobile Sleeping.....Yeehaa

Hi there Doug,

Great pics.

QUESTION ???

Why wasn't i anywhere near this when it happened LOL !!!!!

when i first read ya post i thought that in his cab they found cans and kegs.
Must be getting late and i have had a few bundies tonight.

All the best Chris.

assuming the driver went to sleep. maybe a mechanical failure?

of course you do. a wise old man once told me, "believe nothing that you hear and half of what you see".

Breaks my heart - hopefully they were able to salvage enough of the kegs, beer etc.

I remember an accident many years ago when a ute went off of a bridge in my home town just before Xmas. It was loaded up to the hilt in the rear with cartons of beer cans. It landed upside down and the driver was trapped inside - shaken but to badly hurt but he was unable to get out of the cabin.

An anonymous call was made to the Police about the accident and by the time they got it it 20 - 30 min after it had occurred all the cartons were gone and the driver was still trapped inside.

He had heard everyone taking his beer but not one person helped him!

I don't think we have advanced too much these days either.

Probably just as well no one else was travelling in the opposite direction and got cleaned up. Wouldn't be much of a joke then - would it.

The first out of town incident I responded to when stationed in Broken Hill was a truck roll over. The beer truck. It was a 2 trailer road train and was carrying mostly cartons and maybe 8 kegs. There was a little general cargo but it was mostly beer. Apart from the kegs very little was salvageable. The insurance company wrote it all off.

Twas a sad day in the Hill.

The replacement order was loaded and on its was before we had even headed back to town.

Thankfully no one was seriously hurt. A little embarassed maybe but not hurt.

Looks like driver fatigue took its Toll. Boomboom

C'mon, it is pretty funny. Any landing you can walk away from is a good one after all.

Doug. I have just got back from Meekatharra (a night mare two weeks ).herd about this when in Meeka van park. It does not suprise me. Judging by the number
of bottles with brown fluid in beside the road the truckies don't even stop to
relieve themselves, just gotta keep moving. The number of escort vehicles on
the road I reckon I must of passed you somewhere. Cheers Brian
