Two heavy vehicles became involved in a major collision, causing severe damage.
Authorities recently examined why one truck suffered a head-on accident while the other experienced a side hit at an undisclosed mine.
“Two empty haul trucks turned in front of each other with the collision causing the headboard of one to damage the cabin of the other. One operator suffered hand fractures and a head laceration that required 52 stitches,” the New South Wales Resources Regulator said in an incident summary.
Investigators found both vehicles failed to stop before one of the windscreens were shattered, A-pillars bent and roof damaged.
