Roller driver falls down an embankment with his machine

22/10/2026 · Mühlehorn (GL) · Construction · Injured

While avoiding an oncoming dumper, the roller left the track. Machine and driver went down the steep slope separately. The roller struck the driver lying on the ground and stopped further down.

Narrow site roads need passing places and clear right-of-way rules between machines. A rollover protective structure and seatbelt keep the driver from being thrown out.
