Two injuries reported after trailer becomes unattached from vehicle in Bedford


We need Answers what failed?  Safety Chains? Where is the hitch?  Look at the pictures!

It happened again another poorly maintained and never inspected trailer in Virginia came loose and almost cuts a innocent person in half.


We have questions:

Why did the trailer come loose?

What Failed?

The Hitch?

The Safety Chains?

We demand the safety inspection officer investigates exactly the event's that lead up to the trailer becoming detached.

We need this vital information so we can develop safety alerts to save lives.


All we keep getting from the Virginia State police is silence and even worse no further action from the General Assembly Why?

See below a sample of what we are exposing.
