Tragic 69 Camaro Crash of the Year !!!!!!!

[JK98SS]

To the statement that the ball shouldn't have been at the scene. When it broke, it was still travelling the same speed as the truck and would have continued down the road as well. So it is possible.

How did the trailer handle with the car loaded up backwards like that?

Sorry 'bout your friend, glad he's OK.

It was fine, it was centered over the axles to give just enough tounge weight. 700 miles back here hit rain entering Washington DC all the way here for the last 100 miles even that wasnt too bad just had to be really aware of the idiots everywhere cutting Us off.
I have some other picts that Jeff just sent me I hadn't seen just after it came to rest that I will be putting up.

Sorry to hear this unfortunate result.

I've hear of an extremely similar accident happening because the car was loaded in an enclosed trailer backwards.

Sad to look at,glad everyone came out OK...

Had to tow it backwards to keep from ripping the top all the way off of it. With the windshield frame smashed and the holddowns ripped off of it it was the safest way to transport it. You can tow like that if you center the weight so your not tail heavy with No tounge weight.

How does insurance work on something like this? You buy a car, load it on a trailer to take it home, then what? Did he have an agreed value policy written for the car before the trip? If its somehow covered by the trucks and/or trailers insurance policy, certainly its not going to cover whatever the car is truely worth.
