2026 LFI Alert HiPo#02 Motor Vehicle Incident
After completing the assigned work, two mechanical crews were traveling from Wadi Umairi to Makarem. At approximately 14:45 hrs., Crew 1’s Canter vehicle broke down on the graded road near Wadi Umairi. Crew 2’s Canter arrived to assist, and towing was attempted using a webbing belt. During towing, Crew 1’s vehicle brakes failed, and while avoiding a collision, the driver steered left, causing Crew 2’s vehicle to lose control and overturn around 15:00 hrs. Due to the towing connection, Crew 1’s Canter was also pulled and subsequently overturned.
What documented process do we have in place to guide recovery of broken-down vehicles? How do we ensure our maintenance schedules are rigorously followed? Drivers: How do you ensure you are familiar with the risks associated with vehicle towing (eg: checking brakes/steering of towed vehicle)?
Crew 1’s vehicle (towed vehicle) brake system had a worn component which caused it to fail. Poor maintenance culture resulted in worn components on an active vehicle. The crew relied on their knowledge as there was no documented Safe Towing operating procedure
