2021 2nd Alert LTI20 FAT01 Trailer suffered tyre blow out causing the vehicle to swerve and roll over resulting in fatal injury to the driver
On 15th September 2021 at approx. 16:36 a single MVI occurred involving an OTO driver travelling from Muscat to Nimr on a dual carriage-way blacktop, the trailer carrying 22 bulk bags of Potassium Chloride (non-hazardous chemical). The vehicle suffered a blow out to the driver side front tyre, causing the vehicle to swerve to the driver side and straight into the central reservation embankment before rolling over and stopping at its final resting position on its back. This resulted in fatal injuries to the driver who was trapped inside the cabin. The loads were spilled from the trailer. Another OTO driver who happened to be in the area reported to CCC JMC, the emergency number was called.
Always ensure your tyre quality is fit for purpose Always ensure tyre pressures are correct and tyre conditions checked regularly Always ensure you conduct daily vehicle inspection before starting your journey Always ensure you follow defensive driver training
