No, the truck caught fire and was heading for the fence to get into the grass paddock, but didnt quite make it.
Although looking at that photo, you could assume the driver was doing a burnout, the tyres got hot and burst into flames

Was first on the scene for this, fortunately had a satphone to call emergency services. Second one in 6 weeks, first was a couple of women in a rental car falling asleep and flying off a bank out the back of Reefton at 100k's right in front of me.

Person trapped after van crashes down bank near Haast - National - NZ Herald News

A long time to be on your own (so to speak). Fire trucks from Lake Hawea took 59min and Wanaka 1hr 11min to get there and choppers from Greymouth, Queenstown and Dunners.
Thats where 1st Aid skills come into it. Not sure how long before ambos were there

I haven't spoken to him since @oraki maybe insurance covered it.

Or no skills at all. Arse end starts to go, to slow to steer into it, arse goes around and backs into bank

Yeah, but it looks like they hit the bank with the front end first, and got it to spin around and plant the back end in.

Back end lets go and points the front into the inside of the corner and unable to correct and go off the inside of the corner, In this one I'm guessing the nose hit first while still sliding causing them to spin.

Very common to crash off of the inside of corners, especially in the wet.

I have been an unfortunate passenger in exactly that situation, arse goes out front clips rock wall slid up the road sideways/backwards and into the rock wall backwards at around 120kph after washing off an estimated 40kph by sideways.

The only person in the back seat my body weight put a very visible big bow in the backrest of the back seat so much so I dont know how it stayed upright sort of. The front seat passenger ended up almost in the back seat with me as the front two seat mounts ripped out of the floor and the seat layed back.
Driver got off ok the fuckwit,I had months of rehab.

This one did a better job South of town this morning.

That corner is a cunt you have to look twice several times but i'm amazed at how many crashes happen there.

happy St paddies day you all.
