BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A trailer broke loose from its SUV Friday night on Interstate 64, causing an accident just east of the Huntington Mall exit.

It happened just before 8 p.m. near the 22-mile marker. Police said an SUV was pulling the trailer when the bolt came loose and the trailer disconnected.

The trailer flew into a hillside, and the SUV hit the cable barrier in the middle of the interstate. I-64 was closed for a short time so the roadway could be cleared.

Luckily, no one was hurt.
