Unhappy "Up Close and Personal"...

At the time, those comments were all there was. All the comments seemed genuine enough. Perhaps someone here can give an opinion as to the adequacy of the towing vehicle. (The tail lights do look Ford-like).

I drove by the blackened scene later, which makes it all "up-close and personal".

A newer update including State Police comment:

Quote:
"...'The trailer became unstable, started to wobble, when the [northbound] SUV lost control, spun counterclockwise to where it was perpendicular to and in the southbound lane,' Annunziato said. 'It was T-boned by a southbound Ford van, which caused the boat to come off the trailer'..."
Reading of "trailer inspections" got me thinking how Government can't do everything to keep the roads safe—even when their regulations apply to a state agency).
