In an accident report at a road construction site:
Svein hadde 10 minutter før laget tippkant men sen reist vekk til å reparere veg
utenfor T090. Dumpersjåfør skal tippe på venstre side og begynner å rykke og svinge til venstre
istedenfor å tippe beintfram. Han feilberegner hvor kanten ligger og et hjul går igjennom
tippkanten som er beint frem og han mister hjulet over kanten.
