Betting the pick up up ran into the trailer and took out some hydraulic lines. Passenger side of the trailer collapsed and the welds broke off the saddle when the load shifted.. only way that makes sense from the few pictures
Bean Jr. Thanks this. -
Guy in the pickup ran up on the load and traffic. Pickup thought the traffic was moving, but it was moving slowly. Pickup flew up the left side of the load trying to avoid hitting vehicles, crashed. Lead truck turned left slightly trying to avoid wreckage, then back right, that’s when the bolsters snapped and it tipped. Hitch broke off the push truck and avoided taking that with it. And the company has cameras in the trucks. 100% of the blame went to the driver of the pickup. Sad situation. My best friend drives for the company and we both know the push truck driver. Lead and push drivers are very experienced. But our buddy had enough with this one and he quit Sunday. I feel bad for him and everyone involved.

they aren't very experienced when it's not even secured properly. you dont turn slightly and back and have the saddle break off if it was..
you can see they have nothing to stop the rolling on the front turn table, you know they did the back the same.Crude Truckin' Thanks this.
