A parked tractor-trailer was violently sideswiped by a passing truck traveling at highway speed, ripping the trailer open, busting the roof, buckling the floor, and twisting the rear axles — leaving the entire load compromised and requiring the contents to be unloaded roadside before the trailer could be moved.

Big Mike’s Towing and Recovery responded to the scene and had to bring out 44,000-pound dollies to transport the damaged trailer back to a facility. The full load had to be offloaded on the side of the road before the trailer could be safely moved.

No location or injury information was provided in the initial report.
