No, not a driver equipped dolly. I used to see them on I-5 between Auburn and Everett, carrying 747 wing spars to the final assembly building. IIRC, they had tandem axles (with duals) on the rear, and a steerable axle (single tires) in front, and a very visible "cockpit" in the middle. I guess one could say they were a "6X0"; 6 wheels, none capable of being powered!
If the dolly had been steerable, the incident might not have occurred.
I find it interesting that the tie-downs on the dolly failed so readily, but the tie-downs on the tractor did NOT fail, but the weight of the beam rolled the tractor over!
