I use the same rule loading and unloading on the street as I use at the race track. NEVER turn your back on a moving vehicle.
Car hauler killed unloading

Vilhiem Thanks this.

This is why I crawl under the trailer to operate a lift gate, when I have to park in the middle of the road with one, sometimes I question if it's me being too cautious, but after seeing this, I don't think you can be too cautious. Sure, someone could drive into it once it's down, though I'd have more room to get out of the way, versus instantaniously falling under a trailer when standing beside it to operate the lift.

I was born and raised about 7-8 miles from where this accident occurred (thanks Joseph for the link to the local paper!). This part of the highway is one way (this is N-bound side, with the S-bound side a block away behind the buildings across from the car hauler) and is (or used to be, still appears so...) three lanes and a speed limit of 35 mph, and less than a block further down is a stoplight. This scumbag 4-wheeler was definitely speeding along with not paying any attention whatsoever! He never even let off the throttle......
RIP driver.....
