    If he was going on 31 which seems to be straight road, then what caused the overturn. Appears there was no reason for this to happen unless, was in left lane and swerved hard to the right lane ( top heavy load ) or trailer suspension or axle gave way. Hard to guess by pics.

    I'm pretty sure that pickup wasn't pulling that MonStar demo box.
