The guy could have still moved her trailer out of the way of traffic without destroying it.
Errrrr .....how do you move a stuck trailer without wheels in the dark in bad weather when the trailer is structurally unsound and there is very limited access due to the size of the level ground next to it and the amount of traffic already blocked by these idiots ?
Joe you are talking about a major project which would not only be very expensive and very long , it would close the road entirely and still probably not manage without causing lots of damage to the trailer which by that stage was probably a write off already .
Sometimes people have to pay the price for their own stupidity , this is a case where they did .
