That is sad for the driver.
Sometimes parts just fail, sometimes it is neglect or even ignorance.
On my last trip back from Mexico one of my TT leaf springs failed and both 6" ends of the second leaf snapped off.
Had it replaced in a small town on the way home. FF to a week later when all 4 new springs came to my house, I installed them. I noticed that one or both broken off pieces hit the ground and were then flung up into the bottom of the trailer hitting metal and making a big dent and scrape. Had someone been following too close they could have gotten some flying metal.
It will make me keep a little more distance from now on.
