A transport driver escaped injury when his vehicle overturned on a bend on the northern outskirts of Lake Charm shortly after midday on Wednesday.
The low-loader was carrying a compartment container when the driver lost control while driving in a northerly direction along the Murray Valley Highway.
The impact tipped the trailer completely over and carried the cabin almost onto its roof.
The driver managed to crawl to safety through a window opening. He was examined by paramedics, but was only shaken by the collision.
There is minimal disruption to highway traffic.
