Tipper truck loses power on jebal, overturns and crushes flowlines. LL # 22
Incident: While driving a loaded tipper truck uphill, the engine stalled and eventually lost all power on the steep incline. The driver had failed to change his gears to the correct setting for the climb on his approach to the jebel. The truck rolled back and after 78 metres the driver steered into the side of the jebel to avoid going off the edge. The truck overturned and crushed four flowlines carrying Oil and Gas. No one was injured and there was no loss of containment.
Key Learning: Never become complacent when driving – it might kill
Your learnings: Always select the correct gear before driving a HGV up a Jebel.
