Which one of you don't know how to strap your boat down?

How'd it end up forward of the trailer? Truck going too fast and didn't realize that hard left was going up and jammed on the brakes? It's way too early to start the Summer Long LA1 thread.


ETA: And yea, that's the Leeville toll bridge, I recognize that stupid hard left even in the shitty fog.

Damn, that dude had to have been ROLLING. Good ole LA engineering with that hard 90.

Anyone want to take bets that the next phase of expanding the gateway and tying into that 90 never happens?

Damn it, I wish we could see pics of the truck pulling it to see how fricked up it is.

I'm 29, if that stupid 90 degree turn is connected to 90 before I die I'd be surprised.

Brother just sent me pics of that same accident. His buddy sent it to him. Said the b&w hitch broke and then boom that happened...looks like he wasn't using the right hitch to begin with but who knows

Looks to me like they weren't using the right hitch to pull that boat. And they even drilled an extra hole to make it work.

ETA: and those poor safety chains didn't stand a chance.

Baw check out that safety chain. That would barely hold up the weight of one Fat Gary Chambers on a BREC swing set.

Is that a 1-1/4 hitch put into a 2" receiver with a spacer?
