Caravan Being Towed by a Volkswagen Passat Jackknifes and Overturns on A90
The mobile home was being towed by a Volkswagen Passat when it turned over shortly after 8pm on Friday.  Traffic was blocked on the southbound carriageway as emergency services attended the scene, near the Petterden junction, four miles north of Dundee, Scotland. Police confirmed nobody was injured, with the wreckage of the caravan removed from the side of the road later in the evening. |

I wouldn't be surprised if the Caravan trailer was heavier than the Passat's tow rating of 1,000 lbs.

I'll bet he got right sides off the pavement and over corrected. That causes a hell of a lot of accidents.

You also have to make sure the caravan is balanced by checking the nose weight using ball hitch spring scales otherwise it will snake!
