FOG and road conditions are believed to be contributing factors in an accident that led to a tipper truck and trailer coming to rest in a paddock near Caroona on Saturday morning.
A spokesman for Tamworth police yesterday said it appeared the driver failed to negotiate the intersection at Waverly Rd about 6am.
"Emergency services were called and people nearby went to the assistance of the driver," the spokesman said.
"The vehicle came to rest in a rain-soaked paddock and the driver was taken to Tamworth hospital for assessment."
