I have seen this accident picture several times before.
I don't disagree that DRWs offer superior stability over SRWs.
But to assume an SRW would have rolled over with the 5th wheel and the hitch (or some other component) would not have failed as it did in the accident is not logical.
What evidence is there that an SWR would have rolled with the trailer?
Well I can tell you from personal experience. I was towing a trailer thru Portland and it started swaying and could not control it and the trailer went over and so did the truck. Maybe not with a dually??????
But I can tell you that we then started towing the same trailer with a dually and never a bit of sway after that.
So until you have had a bad experience with a single wheeled truck you will say "it tows just fine" !
