JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ohio — A trailer detached from a Walmart truck at the Route 7/213 exit off U.S. 22 east in Steubenville on Monday.


No one was injured, and the trailer managed to stay on the road without hitting other any other vehicles

"I though the gentleman had a flat tire on the truck, so I got out of my car to make sure he was OK, because I thought maybe a heart attack or something. But I came around and completely noticed the trailer had come off the truck," witness Michele Berarducci said.Advertisement
