THE driver of a truck that tipped on its side in Pakenham on Wednesday has escaped uninjured, police say.
At about 10am a truck carrying a heavy load of dirt was being slowed to a stop on a nature strip outside an industrial worksite on Bald Hill Road.
Cardinia Highway Patrol Senior Constable Gemma Hamilton said the weight of the truck, together with the wet, unsteady ground below, caused it to roll over onto its side into a ditch.
The driver, who was the single occupant of the vehicle, was uninjured.
The truck was also undamaged.
Heavy haulage trucks arrived on scene at about 10.30am to lift the truck.
