English term or phrase: crashing to grade
Context:

"Driver did not follow safe uncoupling procedures when he has pulled the 5th wheel release handle before applying the trailer brake, lowering the landing gear and removing the air & electrical lines. This caused the trailer to become disconnected, slide off crashing to grade and damaging a loading dock door/roof at a customer location."

Ik vraag me m.n. af wat "grade" hier betekent.

helling
Explanation:
Grade = slant, slope. De trailer is in de berm terecht gekomen en de helling afgerold. Zoiets zou ik ervan maken.

agree  Willem Wunderink: Behalve de berm, dan.. Hij stond in een laaddock, die vloer loopt altijd schuin naar beneden om de laadvloer op werkvloerhoogte te krijgen. Maar dat zij je van harte vergeven!... ;-)
