TT wreck on I-20 in LA

Just passed by a rollover wreck of a bumper pull TT towed by an F150. Looked like a single vehicle incident. Praying no one was seriously injured.

By my estimation that was too much trailer for that 1/2 ton truck. Please folks, make sure you have safety margin on your tow vehicle.

Safe travels everyone!!

With the winds in this region today and yesterday it can get dicey pulling a trailer. I went to search for the accident and came across a different one. Not related, but had to post this photo. No serious injuries the two occupants. Hit the median and came apart. Crazy.

Looked like a 28 to 30 foot trailer to me.
