Time and time again...and again we find that the Police Departments help and or cover up the reason's why these trailers keep coming off the hitch and they do not want to answer our questions.....Why?  Why do they do such a poor job? 

If this was a Jet Engine from a Boeing Max 737-8 that "Detached From The Wing"  Would they also cover it up?

UCON, Idaho - Update:  3-29    3:35 a..m.

Three people were hurt in a two-vehicle crash on US 20 at milepost 318, near the Bonneville-Jefferson County Line Road at 8:22 p.m. Thursday.

Idaho State Police said Drew Weathermon, 20, of Ammon was westbound in a 2001 GMC pickup pulling a trailer.  They said the trailer detached, went through the median and into the eastbound lanes.
