 Look For All Approaching Vehicles A loaded logging truck and an empty low-bed truck collided on a logging road. A mix-up in mileage calls prior to the accident lead to this fatal incident. In this accident, the low-bed driver was instantly killed when the logs from the loaded truck toppled over him and his truck.
Prevention alert:
- Confirm location of other vehicles before entering critical road sections.
- Follow proper radio calling procedures at all times.
- Use extreme caution when sharing forest service roads with approaching vehicles.
- Radio communications can go wrong - follow safe driving rules.
Two recent logging fatalities stress the importance of defensive driving on logging roads. While climbing up or down the road, one must drive with the possibility of another vehicle being around the next bend. In addition to listening to the radio, driving cautiously according to the road conditions and always being alert and ready for the unexpected are the best precautions one can take.
