5 Hurt in Truck/Travel Trailer Accident

Wow... how did this become a TT/5er slam thread? So I guess this means we should also get the cars, trucks, SUVs and vans off the road as well? They get into accidents too, don't you know... Length of the trailer is of little concern, if you have the right tow vehicle and equipment - and drive carefully, but accidents can still happen, just like in a car, SUV or van, when people don't pay attention to what's going on around them, and in towing cases, pay attention to the environment variables and make necessary driving adjustments, or stop until conditions improve.

Having the right vehicle combination and careful driving go a long way to help prevent accidents. I've seen some people (not many) driving a large truck/trailer combination like they were in a hurry on their way to work, with no regard to speed, space cushion, handling of the rig, etc.



Again, I don't know what happened in this case, it's a terrible accident and I just hope they all fully and quickly heal.
