A truck driver was forced to leap out of his vehicle before it plunged 150m down a ravine in Myponga, about 60km south of Adelaide.
Anton Tobe made the extraordinary escape when he jumped from the cabin of his truck on Sampson Rd on Thursday morning.

His workmates watched on as Tobe’s truck careered down a massive hill, then hit the creek bed below.
They said Tobe would likely have been killed on impact and or buried alive under the material his trailer was carrying.
Witnesses ran to help the 46-year-old before emergency services arrived at the scene and took him to hospital with only minor injuries.
SafeWork SA is investigating the crash.
Salvage crews said it would be days before the truck is removed from the creek.
