On ramps, especially in town, tend to be a little misleading when it comes to the steep angle.
Fully loaded semi's need to be cognizant of the angle of the on ramp and what a safe speed should be to avoid these type of wrecks ~ EPD Officer Smith
This particular dump truck was loaded with sand. The combination of shifting weight, and a steep curved on ramp, this ended up in a flipped truck.
When you are driving in town, just be aware of your speed and the angle of the road you are are driving on. Thankfully no one was injured in this accident!

@dontAs a fellow dump truck driver, I agree. The curves on 126 can be misleading. Better to slow down than regret your speed.
