Yesterday afternoon, a local gal was towing a bumper hitch horse trailer with a pickup when the trailer detached from the pickup. An oncoming car hit the trailer and a 10 year old girl was killed. Her brother is in critical condition.
Both kids were thrown from the car. Apparently they were still wearing their backpacks from school and weren't buckled in. However, that's secondary to the fact that the trailer had no safety chains. I thought it was the law that all trailers on the road have safety chains, but my wife says during the course of the morning she's talked to several people who say they've bought new horse trailers that did not have safety chains.
