Rear-Dumper over Light Vehicle

Rear Dump over Light Vehicle

Crushed Crew Bus

Parked too close to a shovel.

Dozer into Light Vehicle

When I got back from my break, I saw that a lot of people submitted these photos. Some thought that they were from the Lake Vermont mine in the Bowen Basin, some from the Mt Arthur North mine in the Hunter Valley. The story, from one of the emails:

The contractor in the LV was following the dozer which was cutting an access track for the LV. The LV was following too close behind the dozer, the dozer stopped and reversed slightly to realign his cut and didn’t realise the LV was so close behind. Luckily the ripper tore the driver’s side door open which allowed the driver to escape uninjured.

Flattened Ute

I don't have any information about this incident, other than this photo. It looks like it's been driven over somehow by a dump truck.

Flattened Light Vehicle

I don't know any of the story behind this photo, but that cab looks like it's gone through a hydraulic press, it's so flat.

Dawson Light Vehicle

Anglo, and especially Callide Dawson, have been making the news for the last week. This is one of the incidents that lead to it. A very lucky operator was able to get out of the car before it got run over.

Big thanks to a reader for sending this through.

Edit: As many, many, people have noted, this incident was at Dawson, not Callide.
