I think the chief needs to get his eyes checked LOL. He claims they were maybe doing 25-MPH before they made that turn however the truth is closer to 40-45 MPH as they did not hit 25 MPH until it rolled in the grass. Had the tiller operator had brake control he might've been able to slow the combination to lessen the chance of a roll-over.
The tiller guy doesn't normally have brakes and has to turn appropriately to his position in the turn. Initially its the opposite in order to stay straight, but then follows suite with the cab.
This kind of turn only works in Nascar, I'd say the driver should have to pay whatever the insurance does not, this is a big truck man...... That's wild
I noticed that. It looks like the driver of the tiller had his wheels turned the wrong way causing it skid and since its lighter than the tractor, it began to tip taking the tractor with it.
@arohn2007 Actually, the tillerman had his wheels facing the correct direction. When you're the tillerman, you always turn the opposite of where the cab is turning. If the tractor part (cab of truck) is making a left turn, you turn the wheels right. I don't think the tillerman caused this wreck at all. I think it was the driver taking the turn way too fast.
@arohn2007 Some of you should read up on how to drive a tiller type fire apparatus. In order for the apparatus to turn correctly and tighter than most trucks of its size the rear driver (tillerman) must turn the wheel in the opposite direction of the turn. Ex. If the tractor turns left, the tillerman turns right, once through the turn he follows suite with the tractor. In this case the tillerman did exactly what he was suppose to do. the driver of the tractor was speeding, causing the incident.

I think the driver was at fault but the tiller-man should have kept it on full lock (leaving the pavement but staying upright)

@redbull8382 Probably. He probably started to turn and yelled "oh shit" because he knew this was gonna be ugly but by then obviously its too late.

@firefightermeath oh absolutely, extremely lucky. I wonder if the chief ended up punishing either of the drivers or perhaps both

That is why you never have steerable axles on trailers that aren't controlled from the cab of the tractor

Helluva ride for that poor tiller driver in the back! Has to really be terrible to be able to steer without a pedal for the brakes.
