That tipper quite literally went over in front of me. All of a sudden clockwise ( my side) comes to stop and I glance directly to my right and their is a huge pile of sand on our side and the tipper is on its side about 10 feet from me.
Fair play to three drivers behind who all managed to miss it and we’re running over to assist the driver. I had it playing on my mind for a bit afterwards how easy it happens and should I of got out to assist from my side of the carriageway.
Hope the driver was ok.
And well done the drivers who frantically ran over to assist.

Any idea of the firm?
No mate couldn’t see silver/grey trailer and I think it was a dark green unit. Not sue though.
I was impressed with force those concrete barriers can take. He may well of took me and several others out if he had come over.

Cemex tipper out of Northfleet I think, saw the logo on the front as I went past this afternoon.

It was a Cemex wagon, saw it being dragged off this evening on the wrecker. The tractor unit and trailer chassis were on the wrecker i saw, but the tipper body part was being put onto a seperate low loader type wrecker.
