Trailer Accident Close To Us

Hello, hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. This accident blocked the Eastbound 126 highway in California. I can't tell exactly was the length of the trailer is, but that seems like a small tow vehicle for it's size. We also had occasional gusty winds. The people are ok, but their trailer is in pretty bad shape.

The trailer looks new, too.

I just did that round trip yesterday to visit my parents, though in my wife's car. It didn't seem windy then. Still…when it's windy, I'm glad to have my full-size F150.

Saw this happen to a boat being towed by a Jeep Cherokee. What a mess.

Can't believe what some people use to pull campers. They must have the mentality that it has a hitch so I can pull it. They don't realize how dangerous it is.

I agree, but on the other hand your rig looks a bit overkill for most
