Re: Tragic 69 Camaro Crash of the Year !!!!!!!
I've hear of an extremely similar accident happening because the car was loaded in an enclosed trailer backwards.

Re: Tragic 69 Camaro Crash of the Year !!!!!!!
Had to tow it backwards to keep from ripping the top all the way off of it. With the windshield frame smashed and the holddowns ripped off of it it was the safest way to transport it. You can tow like that if you center the weight so your not tail heavy with No tounge weight.

Re: Tragic 69 Camaro Crash of the Year !!!!!!!
How does insurance work on something like this? You buy a car, load it on a trailer to take it home, then what? Did he have an agreed value policy written for the car before the trip? If its somehow covered by the trucks and/or trailers insurance policy, certainly its not going to cover whatever the car is truely worth.

Was the car on the trailer backwards?
