Tragedy from incompetence.
#11
Years ago (before I-68 was actually I-68), I was coming from Hancock, MD towards Cumberland. There was a pickup in front of me with a '69 Chevelle on a dual-axle trailer. The trailer started fishtailing wildly on him and ended up with the trailer taking the car and the pickup for a wild ride. The trailer hitch ripped off (literally ripped the metal apart) and took the trailer/car combo on a hell of a roll-over (at least 3 times). The car stayed chained to the trailer the entire time.
Since I was the first car behind him, I stopped to see how badly he was shaken up (the pickup stayed upright). The guy was ok except he was extremely upset about it. The trailer was a loaner from a friend. He had just went into Frederick to pick up the Chevelle from a body shop, where they had just done all of the body & frame work on the car. It was still primer, but you could easily see it's potential. He was taking it home to start putting the new drivetrain in it. I thought he was going to start crying (which I wouldn't have blamed him for).
