    I don"t think a translation is needed.... you can figure out what happened looking at the load in combination with the towing van: a big truck coming from the opposite direction caused turbulence causing the trailer to move to the other lane: the driver in a car behind the big truck could not stop in time and died :

    It funny that the trailer seems to have it's centre of gravity low enough to resist that side force. I always wonder about those cheap lawn tractor trailers when I see them at Home Depot. But that one should have stayed stable, unless the big truck had really low-rider sides. :49:
