That is too bad, A bulldozer is probably one of the least prone machines to flip over with their low center of gravity, but it can and does happen. 28 too. Prayers of course for his family.

This accident was not as first reported. I do not know if they know why but it was later reported that he was run over by the dozer and that it then continued down an embankment.
