    The document summarizes a rollover accident involving an LOX tanker in Saudi Arabia. The driver noticed the vehicle entering the left shoulder and responded by abruptly oversteering clockwise, which triggered a sequence of events that caused the cargo tank and semitrailer to roll over. The root cause was determined to be a loss of alertness due to sleep inertia - the driver woke up only 15 minutes before the accident after a short rest. The key messages emphasize factors that can influence alertness like fasting, irregular sleep/meal patterns, and distractions while driving.
