Dump truck topples over, driver not seriously hurt

page4a134PHILIPSBURG--A Hyundai dump truck toppled over on a side road across from Kwik Bargains on Bush Road around 1:00pm Friday, causing the driver to break his left arm. Police, the Fire Department and an ambulance unit were called to the scene.

The driver was carrying a load of sand up to a home construction site at the end of the road. While he was unloading the sand, the load shifted, causing the truck to tip over. Caught off guard, the man tumbled from the driver's side to the passenger side of the truck's cabin.

The man was not physically trapped and could have climbed out through the side window. However, because of his broken arm the Fire Department decided to remove the windshield.

An ambulance unit took the man to St. Maarten Medical Center (SMMC) for medical attention. In addition to the broken left arm, the man reported having some pain in his side.
