Bad day for the gal in the pickup. Sight distance is terrible in a big unit like this.
Watch where you park

No, I don't have anything that big. That's probably a 100 ton truck. The biggest I have are 40 ton 6wd Atriculated trucks.
I don't imagine the operator if that truck even felt a bump when he flattened that truck and gal. She probably pulled up behind him and he didn't even know she was around. No second chance there. The poor guy has to live with that the rest of his life.
The sad part of this is that the company will be fined heavily because an employee didn't follow safety rules they were taught. Someone goes out and murders someone and gets 3-4 years.
