Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

[California]

And a real Hauling Something Wrong. TBN can't load this 'webm' format so you need to click the link. Summary:

Big farm tractor is driving down the edge of the freeway next to the guardrail at 1 am (why???), sleepy trucker heads for an offramp and rearends it. The tractor spins out into traffic where it nearly gets hit a second time.

Never line life would I drive a tractor on a freeway, especially in the middle of the night.

That's some good driving by the two trucks that avoid hitting the tractor spinning across the road! Hope the tractor driver was OK.

There was a day when they would have just helped him. Now its all about how much money they can rake in.

Yup. My thoughts exactly.

I can't post a link for some reason but google "slime eel accident Oregon"

Truck carrying hagfish (called slime eel) accident out in Oregon dumps live eels all over the road and cars. Eels were on their way overseas as delicacy (yuck).

This might not be hauling wrong, but I haven't seen a trailer raised while hauling before. Maybe I just never noticed. This one was hauling trusses with a raised bed, and the rear end was very low with lights obscured by the oversized load sign that was dragging and flopping on the tail end. The van behind it rear ended it when the truck slowed to make a left turn.

That dude is likely up a creek if he didn't have a set of remote tails hooked in. Based on the severity of impact, the minivan was not tailgating, but had a good head of steam when contact was made.

From the pics, I'd say its a tough call (maybe split responsibility?). I'm guessing there was more than a modicum of inattention on the part of the van driver...maybe some speeding, too.

Looks to me like the trailer has a red flag and an oversized load banner. Looks like a pretty professional trailer loading job too.

My guess: Minivan driver was texting and never saw the trailer slow.
