Default Poor fella
Stopped after seeing this guy on the side of the road just before the 182 overpass on Hwy 90, the best road in the whole south. right lane is really bumpy and the boat came off the hitch, broke the safety cables, passed him up and ended up here. No one was hurt, he had the boat for a week and just came from his insurance office so at least he was insured. Not much damage to the boat, just a ding on the keel from the winch tower. As for the trailer, the tongue was buried so we couldn't see what caused it to come unhitched.

Be careful out there folks.

I always put a pin through the hole in the hitch for that reason... Also why I drive in the left lane on most of 90

That pin will save ya some headaches! That up and down bouncing motion on 90 can force the hitch to pop open. Great point Bob.

I didn't think those were legal for highways.
