Earthmoving machine rolls twice while levelling a field

08/08/2026 · Belfaux (FR) · Agriculture · Injured

Reversing at the edge of the plot, the 32-year-old driver lost control. The machine slid about 15 m down a bank, rolled twice and ended up in a stream.

Reversing near an edge is one of the commonest causes of rollovers. Mark a safe distance, use a banksman and always wear the seatbelt.
