I guess there is drivers and then there is screwdrivers…!

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
no discernible tyre marks on the black top - snapped a half shaft 'praps ? 
and ended up there before reacting to suddenly going backwards ? ... least there's no vehicle in the undergrowth behind the trailer.
takes a second or two to realise WTF's going on - have had one go on the move in an 8 leg Grove, but only travelling slowly on a hill ... hit the brakes 'fore I was heading backwards though
Old man went to a 'runaway' one night at Aberbaiden roundabout - bottom of a several mile hill known as Black Rock on the A465 HOV road -- truck had failed to stop (run out of brakes) for the roundabout and gone straight into the centre of it which had several dozen conifers and a load of shrubs growing on it. Eventually hauled the truck out backwards after several hours and in the middle of the devastation was --- a guy unconscious in his car, which the truck'd pushed in there in front of him. No one'd thought to have a look in there and the truck driver'd not 'clicked' that he'd gone up the arse of said motor, or noticed it as he'd clambered out of the carnage he'd caused.

Bet that woke him up

looks as though he's obviously run backwards (possibly/probably out of control) into that position, but if he lost drive, I can't see how he's gotten (a) out from under it and (b) downhill of it - unless he's on a recovery bar we can't see ?I think...he's dropped the trailer after an exciting few seconds being a passenger ..legs are down .

I’m sure I saw a post where they said the driver had managed to re-couple and clear the road

In the picture with the police ranger you can see some rubber on the road, the dumpers a fair way back not much weight on the pin.
I would hazard a guess he`s tried reversing back down, already being on the turn and maybe sliding sideways a bit while spinning has not been able to chase it round, to reverse around the bend, started jackknifing and unable to pull forward, so dropped it there, and as @pettsy says come back under it from the bottom side.

This looks likely
Can't imagine how someone could miss a gear change on that ...
Anyone think "that" sign gives an adequate warning of the approaching bend?
