Investigating officers said the accident happened at about 2 p.m. when a minivan collided into a dump truck.

As a result, the truck to tipped over onto its side in the road.

Aim high in steering, i.e. don’t make your steering adjustments based on what is directly in front of you, but rather what is down the road.

If the road is winding to the right, for example, look as far into the turn as possible. 

This will improve your safety and make your turns smoother.
