The driver, a farmer, had exited the vehicle and was unhurt although somewhat shaken and two Border Collies were running about. I assumed that the trailer was loaded with sheep and feared the worst. It turned out that it was loaded with a considerable weight of concrete blocks. I asked the driver if the tail 'had started wagging the dog'. No prizes for guessing the answer. |
I saw a caravan boss its tow-car like that on the opposite carriageway to me on the motorway once. Just as we passed it the whole outfit rolled just like that and I got Mr Limey to call the police. Some time later we saw the polis zooming with blues and twos back towards the mess.
I have no idea what the outcome was, but I feared the worst. Sent by magick |

twos is the two tone emergency siren. "Blues and Twos" means lights and siren.

The first time through, I thought the trailer flipped first taking the SUV with it. Actually it was the other way around.
It also sounds as if a tire blew at the very beginning. |
It appears that the trailer took a sudden twist to the right. That then pulled the truck's rear wheels to the right. Driver tried to compensate only aggravating the swaying motion on the trailer. It eventually turned the truck sideways.
Not apparent why the trailer started swaying. Maybe the electric brake on the left trailer wheel somehow activated. At no time (it appears) did the driver hit his brakes. Apparently too much weight was behind and not enough was in the front of that trailer. That simply made it easier for the trailer to sway the truck's rear wheels (that did not have enough weight on them). |
