Interesting in the pictures the damage down the right side of the lead unit. Truck must have been hit then spun back into the engine. (or perhaps flying debris?)
Thankfully the engineer is ok .

Happened 4 days ago. The truck, technically a "concrete mixer truck", was empty. Since "Cement" is actually the heavy power, and is transported dry in covered hoppers or covered air-slide trucks, the "redi-mix" trucks are used to carry the mixture of Cement, sand, gravel, lime, and water. They were extremely lucky that the truck was empty.
