Was this saveable?

Looks like a bit of retarded driving to me. Am I the only one thinking I could have saved that?

I he had driven into one of the walls when he hit into it he would of probably stayed upright.

We also dont know what was in the back of the truck and that could have been having an affect on the rocking too.

Maybe, depends what the load is like. If it's sloshing about you've got very little chance.

This, looks like it was a bit top heavy with a "live" load, bad driving to get into that situation in the first place though!!!

It definitely looks very top heavy to me. It was almost throwing itself over!

[Johnnytheboy]

He was determined to roll that truck.

It just seemed to go on and on... as if whatever he had on board was sloshing about alot. Looked like he had brought it under control against a wall at least twice.

Not much he could have done, in my humble opinion.

[CBR JGWRR]

Possibly. Wouldn't fancy trying though...

middle pedal mate!

It barely slowed at all, looks like the driver kept his/her foot in for some reason.

That was savable.

Yeah I agree with the heavy load comments but surely that could have come to a complete stop way before he toppled?

[greygoose]

Perhaps his brakes were cooked, not sure I would want to aim even a small truck at the wall of a bridge to stop, could be a long way down.

Agreed, braking would've helped!

[surveyor]

Being chucked about that much I think you'd be doing well to press a pedal and steer, let alone save it. I suspect the driver was as much a passenger as the load.

I think it was gone from the first 'bounce'.

If you have another look at the video he has his brakes on until about 1/2 way through the video, then you can see the lights disappear.
