Hilux - Lowlux

[ZAP]

On Thursday 24th April 2003 a GPA dozer driver working at Barney Point

Coal Facility (QLD) accidentally ran over a Toyota Hilux dual cab 4wd

with a Caterpillar D10 dozer.

As the dozer driver was working alone he had driven the ute to the

stockpile area where he was to be working and parked it there just off

the road. He then walked approximately 400m back to the dozer shed to

pick up the dozer and drive it back to the same stockpile area, He did

this so he would have a vehicle to use to return to the lunch room for

smoko's, lunch, etc.

While driving the dozer to the stockpile area a combination of coal dust

stirred up by the dozer tracks, having the dozer blade high off the

ground and a bit of memory lapse caused him to hit the ute with the

dozer blade, the ute was overturned, squashed to a level where it fitted

under the blade then went underneath the dozer, it wasn't until the

dozer driver saw shrapnel flying out from beneath the dozer that he

stopped reversed back and found the ute as it is in these pictures.

Poor bugger probably left his lunch inside the ute too

Yeah, this is how I got the Hilux pics.

A mate of mine works for CAT, so I sent him the Dozer PPS and he sent me the Hilux one back.

This reminds me of a video I saw for an Opencut induction I did up in the Hunter Vally. It showed how easily a 300tonne truck can run over a Landcruiser like it's a road marker. Quite amazing how a 2 tonne 4WD can flatten out so quickly.
