This N.S.W. vehicle pranged out near Tillmouth
Well on the Tanami Road last Sunday.
Cause of roll over believed to be a tyre failing. Looking at the vehicle they were obviously moving, though the S.L. is 130 K.P.H.. Odd for a rural N.T. prang, they were wearing
seat belts and sustained only slight injuries.
A good warning for all.

Looks like some very lucky people got out of that vehicle. Not a nice way to end up. Bob.

Some people seem to be of the opinion that if the speed limit is 130kph then you have to do 130kph!

Here in Victoria the roadside signs say, "POLICE ENFORCING SPEED" I'm not sure how fast they want us to go though.
Perhaps the driver of this vehicle was just complying with a police directive.

Except the speed limit on the Tanami where this happened is actually 110 km/h. The 130 km/h limit only applies to certain main highways.

The good News about that, was no Fatalities!
That cruiser wagon held together pretty
well considering.
Ive seen Troopys that have rolled ,probably at a lesser speed and the roof has ended up at the floor pan level.
HMMMMM,! wonder what brand of tyres they are,..looks to be good tread on that passenger side one
Cheers Axle.

Charlie, it looks like a Hilux logo on the lead of the passenger door, so I suggest dual cab

Agree with you
John, Definately a hilux, duel cab, you can see the hilux badge on the passengers side front door up toward the front guard. Extremely lucky. Most the hilux would have is airbag and abs (if it was optioned up) Dont think duel airbags even come out in this model and even if it did I doubt they would have deployed anyway ??......

didnt you know - its far safer to not wear a
seat belt in case you cant unbuckle it in time after crashing into a
dam and drown?
the amount of times ive been told that after asking if someone in the car is going to buckle up beggers belief

I had a boss who wouldn't wear his, as he knew a woman who drove into the back of a truck carting lengths of timber, and not wearing a
seat belt. By not being restricted she managed to duck when the windscreen disappeared and survived a nasty injury.
As it turned out, this 'reason' as he thought, didn't impress a Queensland copper at The
Gold Coast.
Seat belts save lives without a doubt. Had either of the occupants of this vehicle not been wearing one, a funeral would be getting organised as I type.
And, it's a Hilux dual cab. Even though it's a bit banged around, the passsenger area has retained it's integrity.

Being a hilux, wouldn't surprise me if the thing started.
The front passenger door handle looks ok!
