Today on my way to see my son at UC Davis. Two semi Tesla car carriers collide with each other. Too bad the new Tesla Semi trucks with advanced technology was not implemented in time!

The white Model 3 (above the cabin of the second truck who rolled into the first truck) visibly was not attached to the trailer platform.
This is absolutly irresponsible.
Don't the truck driver has to inspect the trailer load before driving?

@buckets0fun Why did you disagree with my posting?
Luckilly I hope there was not injuries, but if the truck had rear ended a smaller vehicle,
and the car above the cabin of the truck had fallen on top of this vehicle,
there could have been some serious injures or even worse.

you seem to not understand the WLL of those straps.
To assume it wasn’t strapped down is the furthest reach I’ve read on tmc in awhile.
Either way it was not a good strap installation if a collision like this launches a heavy car forward. I believe that was his point.
Thanks for the positive vibes bucketsOdumb!

I imagine that a combination of both strapes and wheels locks must be used to keep the vehicles safely attached to the trailer.
But why the other vehicles on the top platform of the second trailer didn't roll forward like the first one?
Assuming that all the vehicles were correctly attached, I could conceived that when the two trucks collided,
the top vehicle hitted the last vehicle of the trailer, so the choc could had been so intense
that a rupture of the straps or the anchoring mechanism could have occured?
