Default this sucked..

On the way to Sturgis last year I was coming down through North Dakota and saw this trailer break loose in front of me (mile or so ahead). Guess the back axle broke and the trailer went sideways and then rolled. Not a pretty site when I looked inside...

Yeah, I think when the guy was riding that trailer he forgot to keep the rubber side down!

Major suckage. Good thing you were far enough back. I have seen one on the side of the road before also.

That really sucks and I can imagine how that guy felt... last year a buddy of mine lost his boat trailer withthe boatbehind his truck, we watched it pass us, go in the grassy median and then flip. I was just happy it wasnt mine
