<VV> Trailer Incident

[BBRT]

Be careful out there!  around 4:30 today, Truck towing a utility? trailer had trailer get loose on the westbound span of the Bay Bridge. .  Big trucks and other cars trying to miss it, had accidents on the Bridge, westbound over the Chesapeake Bay towards Annapolis. Three fatalities.  Two weeks ago, an open trailer with ride-on lawn mower either got totally loose or loose enough to come into oncoming traffic, tearing up front, hood, fender, of an SUV and smashing windshield. Fortunately I got there late... but before the police and fire. No injuries other than to underwear of SUV driver.

Why tell you this? I have personally seen six accidents over the years involving towing something.  Pay attention and don't take chances with an overweight trailer, or load or a light weight vehicle which can't really handle what you are towing, or not properly fastening and safety-chaining your load.  

This is a reminder. Be careful out there.
