Here are a few shots of a rig that merely went up on the curb at low speed. Something to do with proper weight distribution and tie-downs (or lack thereof).
If you look at the last picture you will note there is no curb. The driver cut too sharp and tried to go over a rather large rock. Also not helping the situation is the trailer has a spread axle configuration that makes for a wide turning radius.
