Im not saying it can't happen. In fact, about 40 years ago, I was traveling through NYC, and on the freeway was a car with FOUR WHEELS, but NO TIRES, sparks flying everywhere.
What Im taking exception to, is the article provides ZERO evidence to support the trailer blow out theory. Heck, it coulda been a regular car blow out, or a truck tire blow out. There's NOTHING presented to support that hypothesis, unless there's another article posted somewhere that substantiates the claim.
Maybe the forensic guy was able to determine that sparks caused the fire, and a chemical analysis of the spark shows that it was actually a trailer wheel vs a regular wheel.
