What a tragedy.
I have a couple of the same hitches that are 2 5/16 ball for pulling my dump trailers and flat bed. Spent a lot of time looking at hitches and found these have some of the highest weight ratings on the market. My dump trailers are 14K rated so can't use a normal off the shelf hitch with them.
A couple years ago spun out on an icy bridge and "totaled" out the 00 Excursion while pulling the 20ft flat bed. The left side of the trailer hit the center median and also hit a car in the other lane before the rear driver side of the X hit the center median. The trailer never came off the hitch but after a close inspection found the shaft on the hitch got really bent from the accident.
