    Towing Accident

    Cross posted from fb... If you were driving I5-S, you may have witnessed this. I don't think I was driving too fast or distracted but have a lot to reflect on what I did wrong. Or could have done differently. No physical injuries. I'd had the rig a few hours. :( Please stay safe peeps.
