Towing wreck - overloaded hitch
Please people follow the rules and don't run over loaded. First article I've seen like this. Surprised it does not happen as often as this. http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/2960844-181/chp-hitch-...

First) Hitch failed
(Second) Safety Chains failed or were not used
(Third) Emergency Brake was not present
While all three are Operator Issues, two of the three are a direct result of not caring or knowing better and only the first (Hitch Load) could be questioned as to if the operator even knew what it was
Yeah the forums weight cops are trying to turn the incident into their usual tow vehicle overweight same ol' same ol' tiresome baseless blather when it was actually the trailer/hitch/breakaway/safety chains/etc.
Hell even if the trailer wasn't overweight it was still a rolling accident waiting to happen.
