"The crash remains under investigation as police want to determine if both SUVs were properly secured on the trailer."

This happening is one of my driving nightmares. Seeing those cars bounce around on the double decker carriers always makes me cringe - and do my best to get them behind me.

When we were in college, my sister and I went on a summer trip together and were driving down I-95 towards Wilmington when a boat trailer in front of us blew a tire. We were able to slow down in time to get away from the vehicles, but the trailer was swinging all over the road. That was freaky, this incident is freakier.

This seems to have been one guy towing a flatbed trailer with the two SUVs, but I know what you mean when one of those is AHEAD of you!

My cousin was killed by a trailer loaded with hay that was improperly secured to the tow vehicle. The trailer broke loose similar to this accident, and she was killed instantly. It was a long time ago, but reading about this one brought it all back. And the saddest thing about it is that it is all just plain carelessness and could have been avoided.
