Runaway Trailer Kills Woman In Tampa Parking Lot

Source: AP

Authorities claim that an unsecured trailer killed a woman standing in a parking lot and injured another. 40 year old Catalina Allmon and Vicente Quintero were setting up a hot dog vending stand in a gas station parking lot in Tampa, FL when struck by the trailer. Allmon was pronounced dead at the scene and Quintero sustained non-life threatening injuries.

Authorities state that a 16 year old hauling an unsecured trailer with a riding lawnmower caused the accident. Police cited the teen for failing to secure his trailer.

  1. This is an example of what happens when we have no standard for any Utility Trailer just one pound under 3,000 pounds. This just happend in Richmond this past Saturday... Please go to www.dangeroustrailers.org please go to Caitlyn Louise Johnson.

    Her Father served in Desert Storm.. Kosovo... Somilia and Iraq he protected us and our Country... Yet our Government did not protect his daughter from loosing her life and injuring her 8 month old baby... because they have been lobbied by the Utility Trailer Industry to look the other way.
