Trailer Hitch Accident
On December 28, 2006 a freak accident occurred on Interstate 5 in San Diego. Apparently the ball mount from a trailer hitch flew through the window of an SUV hitting the driver, 32 year old Sean O’Shea in the head, killing him. California Highway Patrol doesn’t know where the hitch came from, if it fell out of a trailer hitch or was being carried as cargo. Either way, the lesson is clear: make sure your ball mount or any other aftermarket accessory is securely fastened to your trailer hitch or vehicle. The same goes for any cargo you are carrying.

Our sympathies go out to the friends and family of Sean O’Shea.
