Vehicle Backing Accident 2016

On this prescribed fire, Truck 1 with UTV and trailer had staged at Point B and was already patrolling on the dozer line. Truck 2 with UTV and trailer missed the turnaround located between Point A and Point B and proceeded to Point B. Point B bottle-necked from a gravel road to a dirt road that led into private property with a private gate and a very limited turnaround area. Truck 1 turned around at this limited space area and was staged facing out. This left very little room for additional vehicles. When the driver of Truck 2 pulled toward the private gate and attempted to back into a small parking area space, the left rear portion of Truck 2 struck the left front quarter panel of Truck 1. The driver immediately notified the Burn Boss and the District Fleet Manager. Both individuals proceeded to the accident scene.
