Is this a candidate for the Darwin Awards?

A dump truck knocked out power to some homes and businesses in Butler County, Ohio. The truck's rear bucket tilted up and as the driver was driving down the street, the bucket took out power lines and snapped power poles and knocked out some cable and phone systems. Fortunately, no one was injured. Although, I am sure the driver who was nodding and gently hand waving who felt all so super cool and power, had what-had-to-be his pride taken down a peg or two. We can all imagine back to dump truck school when the instructor said: "latch the bucket first, then pack up and drive off."
