"Vehicle spilled in mishap", 1970-10-16
Scope and Contents
"While driver Robert Jennings made a phone call for help from a neighborhood house, an unidentified spectator (left foreground) speculated on how a water-pull vehicle fell from its trailer on the Metcalf Street onramp to Highway 78. The equipment, owned by Jennings Grading and Paving of Escondido, suffered an estimated $2000 damage when it became overbalanced going around the turn and fell off. A diesel-powered vehicle, the water-pull is used to wet down newly-cleared areas to keep dust down. Being a diesel, its engine started as it rolled from the trailer. Jennings said, and "took some doing to get it stopped." The rig was heading for a job in San Marcos." [Envelope contains similar images of the accident.]
