The Mine Safety and Health Administration USA (MSHA) issued a Serious Accident Alert following a haul truck accident at a surface mine. A haul truck operator lost control while traveling down a haul road. The truck struck a berm causing it to cross to the other side of the road and travel through another berm. The truck flipped end over end and came to rest on its top. The operator was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident and received only minor injuries. Although this accident occurred at a gold mine, it is the type of accident that can occur on a haul road at any operation. (Source: Aggregates Manager)
