Heading down WI 27 Saturday morning, two F150's with trailers ahead of me - one with an enclosed tandem snowmobile/wheeler type trailer, the other with a tandem car hauler type with a New Holland 16? skid steer on it. Looked like it was setting pretty level, not nose high like some that you see loaded hitch-heavy. Just past the speed zone in a small town, still picking up speed - maybe up to 40-45 m.p.h. Don't know what happened (enclosed trailer blocked my view), but brake lights came on, and then I saw the trailer with the skid steer jackknife and go sideways. Luckily no one in the oncoming lane. The trailer passed the truck and the whole thing ended up in the ditch facing the opposite direction. Didn't appear to be much damage, beyond where the trailer hit the truck fender. Whole thing happened in maybe two or three seconds. If nothing else, he knew how to secure a load - skid steer was upright and didn't appear to have moved on the deck.
