The pic has been cropped, he was towing a tandem axle trailer with an off road race car on it.

I am not a fan of this creep but I was involved in an 11 car chain reaction accident in Dallas 40 years ago on the North Central Expressway and it goes down so quickly there is really nothing you can do. Leaving sufficient stopping distance on any crowded road is hard with people filling the hole you leave for yourself. Add in the extra weight of a trailer and cargo it is just an “oh crap” moment.

Happened to us in Dallas, too. About 35 years ago, driving on the Freeway that goes from Richardson to Plano (memory has failed to tell me the name of the freeway). Two cars in front of us, stopped in the fast lane to looky loo at an accident on the other side of the freeway, Car in front of us rear ended them. We rear ended that car. First car took off but not before the officer, already at the scene of the other accident, saw what happened. Totaled my little car.
