WE WERE PULLING A NEW 2015 TRAVEL TRAILER THAT HAD ABOUT 250 MILES ON IT. A TIRE BLEW AND CAUSED THE TRAILER TO FISHTAIL, ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE TRUCK TO FLIP AND THE TRAILER TO TURN ON ITS SIDE. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TOTALED.THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR, THE ROAD WAS NOT WET AND THERE WAS NO DEBRIS. SPEED WAS NOT A FACTOR, NOR OVERLOAD.
