Mk driver escaped unhurt but embarrassed after his 32-tonne tipper toppled over as he attempted to deliver a load of gravel on a steep Cotswold hill near Cheltenham.
Richard Ashby, who works for Elliotts Transport of Bishops Cleeve, described the accident: "I put my head out of the window to see where I was tipping.
"Then I felt the load shift to one side and I shouted 'She's going over. I pulled my head back inside, grabbed on to the steering wheel and hoped for the best."
