This is the second time I've seen this happen in person, but at two different locations. My parents live at an intersection and just before I left their house Saturday to head to my house, another truck pulling a small trailer had just turned out of one of the smaller side streets. He was headed my same direction, so I fell in behind him and we both began accelerating, only I noticed that his trailer appeared that it wasn't keeping up the truck pulling it. After a short distance, the trailer began veering to the right hand shoulder, while the truck continued on. Shortly it ran off the shoulder and down onto the bank off to the side of the road. It took a short while longer for the driver to figure out that his trailer was no longer attached to his truck!!
In the pic, you can see the trailer just in front of the sign for the highway number, and the owner in the Dodge pickup after he had turned around and was coming back to retrieve it. He was lucky, it could have turned out a lot worse!
