Texto original en inglés de la MSHA

On Tuesday, March 17, 2015, at approximately 3:05 a.m., Von E. Bower, a 52-year-old truck driver was fatally injured when the fuel tanker truck he was operating rolled over near the No. 28 marker on the Eagle Land haul road. The truck was found lying on its top against the hill side. The vehicle was found with the top of the cab crushed and both doors closed. The victim had driven the truck into a descending, sharp, right hand curve on the haul road where it was found overturned. Since there was no indication the truck traveled onto the berm or hillside, the driver likely made a sharp turn, at too high of a speed, to follow the road. This indicates that the speed of the truck was not under control. There were no eyewitnesses to the accident.
