Richins, was traveling westbound on I-80 Sunday pulling a camping trailer and Jeep Wrangler behind his 1990 Ford F-350. The trailer and Jeep began to sway back and forth forcing the truck off the road. The truck hit a post and part of an exit sign, overturning the truck, which then rolled. </p><p>The truck, trailer and Jeep separated. The trailer and the Jeep overturned and rolled onto the Interstate, blocking the lanes of travel. </p><p>Richins, who is from Syracuse, was ejected from the vehicle suffering major trauma to his head and torso. He was found dead under the truck. </p><p>None of the four passengers was ejected, but all of them were injured. A family friend, 73-year-old Paul Arellanes, was sitting in the middle of the front seat. He was transported to the hospital by ambulance with a head injury. As were Richins' 16- and 17-year-old sons, who were in the rear passenger seats. </p><p> Arellanes is from Placitas, New Mexico. </p><p>Richins' 69-year-old father, Jerry, who was in the front passenger seat, was flown by helicopter to the hospital with injuries to his head, neck and back. </p><p>Richins was not exceeding the speed limit, but the highway patrol says due to the weight of all three vehicles, speed was a factor in the crash. </p> No one was wearing a seat belt<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3544870700399321932-3106684374683920632?l=dangeroustrailersinutahasreportedksl.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ron Melanconhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07856693100553559754noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3544870700399321932.post-48074416984438559602008-08-09T21:46:00.001-07:002008-08-09T21:46:52.297-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ocr67TyjOSg/SJ5yrJmVBxI/AAAAAAAABPE/EChd4ioFBko/s1600-h/update861.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ocr67TyjOSg/SJ5yrJmVBxI/AAAAAAAABPE/EChd4ioFBko/s400/update861.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232745902687717138" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ocr67TyjOSg/SJ5yoewJeXI/AAAAAAAABO8/Yn-Ye0zrqB4/s1600-h/update8102.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ocr67TyjOSg/SJ5yoewJeXI/AAAAAAAABO8/Yn-Ye0zrqB4/s400/update8102.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232745856826440050" border="0" /></a><br /><div id="storyDate">August 8th, 2008 @ 3:27pm</div> <!-- ===================[ STORY BODY : RICH TEXT ]================= --> <p style="padding: 0px;">(KSL News) An accident involving several vehicles is caused heavy traffic delays on southbound I-15 at 13200 South this afternoon. </p><p>Utah Highway Patrol troopers say a pickup truck was traveling southbound while pulling a boat behind it when the boat came loose.
