This is the kind of BS that we are used to putting up with each year. I will not comment on the female driver, other than she decided to take the scenic route.
She started up a steep hill and powered out. The truck had hyd brakes, so they really go bad when the motor kills.
You can see the 150' canyon in the background, however there is a large ditch just in back of the truck.
The truck went backwards over the 3' dia boulders and the spuds burst through the rear panel made out of particle board.
The truck actually incurred slight damage, bending the drive line between the rear tandems and breaking the yoke.
The rear of the bed incurred some damage, but I think we can get it up and running again.
The truck holds 300 cwt of spuds, and spilled about 200 cwt.
