Manslaughter charges for improper towing equipment.

This happened locally and I never really believed that investigators would really check into this stuff. http://m.ktvu.com/news/news/local/chp-recommends-charges-fatal-pizza-oven-crash/nhgkX/ D...

As he should be charged. I have zero sympathy of those who think it won't happen to them. If you pull over weight or don't have the proper equipment this is what damage you can do


Based on the short story sounds like dinky hitch, no or lack of properly sized safety chains, and no trailer brakes or backup battery.

Didn't know you could find a coupler rated as low as 3,500#!!
