a guy hauling a front-end loader on a flatbed trailer lost them both

From a posting...


There was a little accident on the highway this afternoon: a guy hauling a front-end loader on a flatbed trailer lost them both! It didn't appear that anyone was hurt, and the scene was north of where I get on to head south, so other than blocking off one lane of the road for about 75 yards, no harm done.

Tractor pulling wagon full of 17 people has trailer hitch break

eventeen people, including 11 children, managed to avoid injury after a tractor ride went wrong Sunday night when the trailer hitch broke on the tractor pulling them down Conlon Road.

Gregory J. Luetticke, 46, of Le Roy, who was driving the tractor, did report an injury. He complained of neck pain.

Luetticke was reportedly pulling the wagon down a grass laneway on Conlon when the hitch broke. Luetticke said when the hitch broke, he steered to the west and lost control of the tractor, causing the tractor to overturn. Luetticke was ejected from the tractor and came to rest to the northwest. The wagon stopped moving.

In the wagon were Billie J. Kennedy, 31, Alexa M. Kennedy, 6, Madailein M. Blonski, 5, Ashley Bottonfield, 10, Erica Ulrich, 15, Amber A. Williams, 8, Dominque M. Williams, 14, Mariah A.

Wood, 8.

Bradley Brooks, 25, of Spencerport, failed to negotiate a turn on South Lake Road in Bergen Sunday afternoon and drove his motorcycle into a ditch. Brooks was ejected from the bike. He was transported to Strong Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Brian D. Whitmore, 25, of Darien Center, suffered a fracture in his arm and collar bone after striking a deer while driving his motorcycle eastbound on Conway Road in Darien. The accident occurred Wednesday about 9 p.m.

No injuries were reported in a single-vehicle accident last night at 11:30 p.m. on Quinlan Road in Le Roy.

The 1996 Dodge coupe was driven by Matthew Derooy, 20, of LeRoy. Deborah J. Derooy, 24, was a passenger.

Derooy reportedly driving the car westbound on Quinlan Road when he drove off the north shoulder and hit a support wire to a National Grid utility pole. The vehicle then continued through a field and landed in a ditch.

No apparent cause is cited in the accident report.

Earlier this morning, a large camping trailer detached from the 2007 gold Chevy SUV lugging it in the northbound lanes of Interstate 275 near the Kennedy Boulevard exit, Kraus said. The SUV driver, 57-year-old Richard Earl Wery, apparently swerved to avoid hitting a ladder that had fallen off another truck, Kraus said. The camper jackknifed, struck the barrier wall and blocked three lanes of traffic for nearly an hour.

GRANT COUNTY, Ind. (WANE) - Indiana State Police provided the following information:

Indiana State Police investigated a crash that occurred at 10:55 a.m. Friday morning on I-69 in Grant County, injuring three family members from Ontario, Canada.

Troopers Eric Treon and Nick Campbell (Redkey District) investigated the three vehicle crash on I-69 at the 56 mile-marker which is one mile north of the Fairmount exit.

Preliminary information revealed that a 2004 Ford Excursion pulling a twenty foot utility trailer and driven by Jason R. Rathjen, age 32, 4535 North St. Attica, Michigan, was south bound on I-69 in the right lane when the trailer broke loose and crossed the grassy median.

The trailer continued into the north bound lanes of I-69 and struck a north bound 2006 Honda Odyssey mini-van traveling in the right lane and driven by Thomas R. Gough, age 40, 798 Mosley St. Wasaga Beach, Ontario.

A north bound 2005 Peterbuilt semi-tractor trailer owned by Schneider Trucking and driven by Davis R. Williams, age 49, 6619 Beryl St. Jacksonville, Florida attempted to avoid the wreckage, but struck the trailer.

Gough’s wife, Jane K. Gough, age 42 was riding in the front passenger seat, and their son Aiden Gough, age 5, was riding in the rear passenger seat at the time of the crash. Thomas and Jane Gough were air lifted to Parkview Hospital in Ft. Wayne, Indiana by Parkview Samaritan medical helicopter. Aiden was transported to Parkview Hospital by ground ambulance. No other injuries were reported.

North bound I-69 was closed for approximately two hours while emergency personnel conducted the investigation and cleared the wreckage. Trooper Campbell who serves as Redkey District’s crash re-constructionist utilized photogrammetry in this crash investigation.

Photogrammetry is a computer based program that utilizes integrated digital photography with a specialized software program that creates scale diagrams of crash, or crime scenes that are accurate to within 1/8th of an inch. By comparison, a fatal crash scene may take several hours for investigators to collect evidence, and measurements, to prepare a scale diagram utilizing previous traditional methods.

Fairmount Police Department, Fairmount Fire Department, Grant County EMA, Grant County Sheriff’s Department, and Indiana State Police Commercial Vehicle Division assisted in the crash investigation and traffic control.

Do-it-yourself trailers reborn from truck beds

by Fred Afflerbach | Business Writer
Published: June 15, 2009

After fading and rusting away in pastures for years, some tough old trucks are returning to work, reincarnated as trailers.

But they must first withstand decapitation from a welder’s torch. Wielding an acetylene-fueled scalpel, Glen Raabe has performed a half-dozen such steel surgeries. Raabe makes it sound simple.

“Just get an old raggedy pickup. And you cut it right where the firewall would be on the truck, where the engine would be, and you just bend your truck frame rails in, put a hitch on it, put a jack on it, and you got yourself a trailer,” said Raabe, owner of Glen’s Welding in Temple.

And for illumination, you can simply connect the modified trailer’s taillights to a pigtail connection on the pulling pickup’s rear bumper. Make a trip to the county tax assessor, tack on the new plates, and you’ve doubled your hauling capacity.

These born-again trailers do myriad chores: hauling, feeding, advertising and, for one disabled former firefighter, it’s an automated appliance picker-upper.

Anthony Wheeler runs the Corner Trading Post in Rogers. He scours the area for old appliances. Back at the shop, he disassembles them, sells some metal for scrap, and rebuilds the motors for sale.

Last year, Wheeler welded a battery-powered electric winch with steel cable to his trailer - a ’67 Chevy in its first life. And to add a little modern technology to this good-ol’-boy engineering, he installed two solar panels that keep the marine battery charged.

Thursday afternoon, Wheeler rolled his electric wheelchair out of his store into the afternoon heat to demonstrate. An overhead steel arm pivots up, down and 360 degrees. Using controls that look like they came from an Atari video game, he lowers the cable, attaches the steel hook and raises a Kelvinator dishwasher 4 feet in the air. In about one minute, the appliance tumbles into the trailer.

“That’s how you get away with being disabled and still be able to move things,” Wheeler said.

Leaving Rogers, a couple more pickup trailers rest on U.S. 190, near the city limits.

Someone painted a Chevy trailer - age unknown - a Neapolitan-looking yellow, green and white. A small billboard advertising a house for sale sits on three steel beams welded across the trailer sides.

Resting next door to the Rogers Flea Market, a sunbaked, old white Dodge trailer loaded with a rusty metal shelf and tree limbs now runs errands for John Finto. He said he’s built a few of these home-style trailers, but bought this one from a buddy about four years ago.

He says licensing is simple. First, weigh the trailer at a scrapyard or grain co-op.

“You tell ’em you got a homemade trailer,” Finto said. “They ask you what it weighs. You buy your tags.”

He’s seen a few high-steppers paint their trailers to match their pickups.

“It actually looks pretty decent,” he said. “Like somebody trying to make their stuff look good.”

In the tiny community of Heidenheimer, Scott Farr installed a 550-gallon fiberglass tank in his trailer - carved from a ’70s-era half-ton Chevy pickup. He uses it to haul corn to his deer feeders outside Belton.

The tank can be lowered and raised with a steel hinge that Farr installed. On Thursday afternoon, it was positioned at about a 45-degree angle, looking like a white, snub-nosed missile ready for launch.

Out on Texas 53, between Temple and the farm community of Zabcikville, several trailers that were once pickups line the highway, scattered under shade trees and near one graveyard. Neighbors said an old blacksmith has taken an unidentified pickup carcass, expanded it to a dually, welded a long, steel tongue on it to make a muscular trailer capable of hauling heavy loads.

Back at Glen’s Welding, Raabe said 99 percent of the time these trailers are made by country boys who don’t have much money.

“You can probably find a little old pickup somewhere laying dead for $50-$100,” Raabe said. “And they can do it themselves. If you go out and buy a small trailer it’s probably going to cost $700-$800.

Interstate 75 In Kentucky Camper Trailer rolls

Note: Kentucky does not require safety chains on their trailers.

It is called the Hump and Bump when your vehicle hits a pot hole
your vehicle goes down..........

The trailer hitch is just behind the bumper... the space between the cars tires and the
trailer tires is called the "Danger Zone"

As the vehicle hits the pot hole and goes down the hitch if not properly connected does not
go down with the vehicle.. it come off the hitch.

Then the wheels of the trailer hits the pot hole and the trailer becomes a missile or causes the towing vehicle to loose control.

Interstate 75 in Whitley County could receive repairs

By Adam Sulfridge For The Times-Tribune

Those who commute between Williamsburg’s Exit 11 or 15 and Corbin’s Exit 25 know all too well the location of every bump, break, or crater in the pavement. Sometimes, the well attuned driver can avoid such trouble spots, and sometimes you’re left shaken and gazing into the rearview, hoping and praying a piece of your vehicle’s suspension is not laying on the highway.

Such has been the norm for anybody traveling Whitley County’s section of I-75, as 40 years of heavy traffic and weather-related expansions and contractions of the pavement have taken their toll on one of America’s most traveled interstates. And though a majority of Kentucky’s I-75 has been repaved, widened, and made safer through the installation of cable or concrete dividers, Whitley County’s section is still only four lanes, cut in half by a grass-covered, concave median, just as it was when construction on the interstate finished in the late 1960’s. In fact, much of the roadway, with the exception of a few patched areas, is still the original concrete.

“It’s rough. It’s bumpy, and it’s uneven,” explained Whitley County Ambulance Service member Brandon Woods.

More directly: it’s old and unsafe.

Thursday’s cover of the Times-Tribune featured a photograph of a tractor trailer which lost control and entered the median, just north of Exit 15. That incident is the third accident of its type to appear in local news within the last three months. On May 19, a semi carrying tombstones crossed the median near the 14 mile marker and struck another truck before bursting into flames, and before that, a pickup truck pulling a large camper lost control and rolled multiple times in the median, just south of the 14. Both of those accidents were fatal, and all of these accidents raise concerns about public safety.

While millions of dollars have been lavished on roadways in other portions of the Commonwealth, basic maintenance seems hard to come by for this southern section of the interstate, forcing motorists into a game of chance each time they attempt to traverse the neglected roadway between Williamsburg and Corbin.

When asked if the breaks and bumps on I-75 increase a motorist’s risk of wrecking, Woods plainly said, “Oh yeah. Every accident seems like it’s between the 14...and the 18 mile marker.”

“I’d hate to say that [the road condition causes accidents] but maybe. It is in terrible condition.” admitted Quentin Smith, Engineer Supervisor for Knox and Whitley counties. Likewise, Mike Calebs, Executive Director of Kentucky’s Department of Highway’s District 11 office based in Manchester, said, “We couldn’t determine if the [road] condition leads to any accidents…but the pavement condition there…is one of the poorest on I-75 in Kentucky.”

There may be hope around the bend, though, for Whitley County’s hazardous section of 75. Smith, who didn’t hide his concern for public safety or disappointment for the roadways deplorable condition, detailed his office’s efforts to rehabilitate the most dangerous section, beginning at the 11 and ending around the 20 mile marker.

He also expressed optimism for the pending proposal and described its chances of receiving support as “pretty good,” adding, “It’s been received well in Frankfort.”

If the rehabilitation project is approved, it may provide a political boost for Governor Steve Beshear, whose previous opponents warned that the election of a Democratic governor would dramatically reduce the amount of state funds invested in this region. During Republican Ernie Fletcher’s four years as governor, Whitley County received $280 million from the state, much of which funded transportation-related projects. Smith estimates that work could begin as soon as late August or early September if given the green light by state officials.

Also on Smith’s to-do list is a plan to install cable barriers in the median to help prevent vehicles from crossing the median and colliding with oncoming traffic. Such barriers are a common feature on most high speed roadways, but their presence stops just north of Corbin, along with the presence of extra lanes.

The proposed rehabilitation plan will continue to be monitored by the Times-Tribune until its fate is decided this July. Until then, drive safely.

Company, truck driver cited in fatal runaway tire wreck

DURANGO (AP) - A New Mexico transportation agency has determined that a trailer that lost two tires on U.S. 550, causing a crash that killed a Durango man, had a defective rim and was overdue for an inspection.

Justin Tucker of the state Motor Transportation Division says the truck's driver, 34-year-old Ronnie Jacquez of Bloomfield, N.M., will be cited with operating unsafe equipment and failing to inspect the flatbed. Moberg Welding, which owned the flatbed, will be cited with failing to inspect the trailer annually as required by law.

Tucker says the citations aren't criminal but will count against their safety scores.

Moberg Welding declined to comment.

The tires came off the southbound trailer March 13 near Aztec, N.M. One tire jumped a divider and crashed though the windshield of a northbound SUV, killing a passenger, 44-year-old Ron Newton.

Fatal motorcycle accident under investigation

Trailer that motorycle crashed into

NEWBURGH – Newburgh City Police are investigating a fatal motorcycle accident that occurred at 10:35 p.m. Monday in which the 18-year-old male driver was killed.

Police said the operator, from New Windsor, was southbound on West Street when he struck a wooden trailer that was parked on the west side of the street.

The impact caused the bike to spin into the northbound lane, and is believed the driver, who police have not yet publicly identified, was thrown from the vehicle.

Police think that after the initial accident, the driver may have been struck by a northbound vehicle that fled the scene.

Police are trying to identify the owner of the wooden trailer that was either parked or abandoned there; the right side of the axle had been broken off.

Police are also looking for the owner and operator of a white full-size van, possibly a Ford that may have been involved in the incident, said Lt. Charles Broe. Police don’t know if the van was the cause or it if was involved after the motorcycle’s impact with the trailer.

Anyone with information is asked to call Lt. Patrick Arnold at Newburgh City Police Detective Division at 845-569-7509 or the main number at 845-561-3131. All calls will be kept confidential.

One hurt when pickup, trailer roll on I-80

The Gazette

A Tama man was hurt when a trailer came unhitched from the pickup he was driving and both units rolled into an Interstate 80 median on Tuesday afternoon.

Joseph M. Ortiz, 23, was eastbound around 3:55 p.m. on I-80 near the 183 mile marker when the enclosed trailer came unhitched. According to the Iowa State Patrol, the trailer started weaving and Ortiz was unable to control the pickup.

Ortiz was transported to Grinnell Regional Medical Center, where he was listed in fair condition Wednesday morning. Three passengers in the pickup were not injured.

Although it was raining in the area, it was not raining when the accident happened, and road conditions were not deemed a factor in the crash by the patrol.

JAY - A wayward trailer slowed traffic on Route 4 on Wednesday after it came unhooked, spun out and flipped, dumping a small load of bark mulch on the road.

Brian Fournier, 31, of Jay had just left the Transfer Station heading north on Jay flats shortly after 9 a.m. when the trailer he was hauling behind his Dodge Durango let go, said Sgt. Troy Young of Jay Police Department.

The dual-axle trailer, owned by Marco Grimaldi also of Jay, spun, flipped and ended up on its side on the yellow line, Young said.

No other vehicles were involved in the incident and Fournier was not hurt but his SUV was damaged. The back window of the Durango was broken, he said. The trailer received quite a lot of damage.

By chance, a Maine Department of Transportation vehicle carrying a backhoe happened upon the scene. The crew assisted in moving the mulch from the road, Young said.

Jay Fire Department responded to the accident and Hilltop Collision Center hauled the trailer away, Young said.
