Truck mount rolls

A truck mounted platform overturned as it took a bend in the road in Island Bay, just south of Wellington in New Zealand, earlier today.

The driver/operator was able to climb out of the truck and was uninjured, but hydraulic fluid was spilled on the road causing it to be closed while emergency services cleared the mess.

Looking at the photo we have been sent, one wonders if the boom was properly stowed? Or if it moved after the impact?
