2021 2nd Alert HiPo27A empty water Jack Knifed on a graded road
A water tanker returning to base with an empty tanker was involved in a high potential incident. While travelling, the prime mover suffered a sudden application of the braking system resulting in the emergency brake system locking on, bringing the vehicle to a stop in the jack knife position. It was found that an air hose in the parking brake system was disconnected resulting in the locking up of prime mover wheels. The disconnected air hose was previously repaired using larger diameter hose and superglue following damage.
