Nice Donzi high and dry upside down in the road!

To clarify...I kinda figured in the original post that the rollback was removing the trailer because the tong was basically gone. It was just funny that it took me a second to realize that. Anyhow, seems to me the original tow vehicle rear ended the SUV with the damage on the back that you can see on the side of the road in the video.
Since the rear of the trailer looks straight seems likely that the boat was not strapped to the rear of the trailer...not that straps would have completely kept the boat on the trailer. But they would have helped.
From the looks of the marks on the road, the driver might have swerved some with the brakes on the floor and therefore didnt hit the SUV going straight...then the boat came off the trailer(which wasn't in line with the tow vehicle) glanced off the left rear of the tow vehicle hit the road at an angle "hooked" and rolled.
