Since accident investigation is what I use to do for a living I would introduce the following scenario. The driver of the Ford Explorer was traveling forward in the left lane (#1), traveled into the breakdown lane, either inattentive (use your own imagination) or to avoid traffic slowing in front of it and attempted to slow down with the rear weight pushing the tow vehicle and both vehicle drove up the side of the Jersey Barrier causing the Driver, in the Ford Exlorer to suddenly try to avoid driving over the barrier by providing steering input to the right. The direction of the trailer continued forward with frame and rear axle overcoming the edge of the Jersey Barrier as the Explorer then begin to rotate clockwise due to the input and rear weight of the trailer. The Tow Vehicle coming to rest on the roadway, rear wheels off the ground due to the Teeter Totter effect from the weight of the trailer over the Jersey Barrier. Travel Trailer came to rest, still coupled to the Tow Vehicle (anchor luckily) resting on the Jersey barrier, partially suspended (supported) off the Jersey Barrier. Driver Exited from suddenly fowl smelling Tow Vehicle to view Travel Trailer parking situation.

Guess we all know why you don't do Accident Investigation anymore.
