The primary hazard is this scenario:
"an equipment operator was traveling up the mainline at 5:50 am when they dozed off, awoke and tried to steer out but was unable. The vehicle slid over a culvert outlet causing the pickup to slide down a small embankment and roll onto its side, coming to rest against a tree. The driver was not injured and able to get out and contact assistance. He was traveling at a safe speed, wearing his seatbelt and there was not environmental impact"
