A multi ton carhauler on the San Gabriel mountains are not an easy run for your trailerI am one of many who followed the story about a carhauler charged with second degree murder charge by crashing his trailer into another motorist. The defense claim it was brake failure due to the steep incline of the road the carhauler was on. Also the defense claims their was no runway for the carhauler to put his rig when he lost control. The State claims that a fireman warned the carhauler that the mountains he was about to drive in were way to steep. I don’t know who is at fault.
What I do know is that any machine, including a multi ton carhauler with a state of the art engine is no match for mother nature. The incline in the San Gabriel mountains was just too much for any carhauler, regardless of what make or model. The driver even had the brakes checked a few weeks before the accident. Always schedule smart when picking roads on a mountain, gravity is going to in the battle.
