Trailer Comes Off Lorry

Blimey, i was expecting to see a trailer on its knees, probably due to a driver not checking properly when they were hooking up. Certainly not seen that before.

That's some major structural failure there.

I bet the driver st himself thinking he hadn't engaged the pin then breathed one huge sigh of relief to see what actually happened.

That's exactly what would have gone through my mind if it were me.

This is actually more common than you think, the chassis strength doesn't extend to the swan neck and double deckers are renowned for rotten the wooden innners of the trailer from knocking the high corners and letting water in.
