In all due respect to the OP I think it's important to point out a couple of things...
One..this wheel assy. didn't just come off with no warning. There had to be some smoke, noise and a definite pull to that side from the trailer. Being aware of what your vehicle is doing by feel as well as sight is very important.
That's easy to say but not necessarily true. I once had a tire on my Jeep Wrangler blow while I was towing it behind my motorhome. Other than a person waving at me I had no indication of a problem. That was with rear view mirrors, a rear camera and a Doran TPM system. The tire was totally shredded and I had no indication, feeling, seeing or smelling of any issue at all.
A blown tire is not the same situation or reaction as a wheel coming off because the bearing has seized up.
