Yes, I'd say that is probably a trailer, but it is clearly *not*
attached to the W250. I'm not even sure if that is the back end of a
trailer or the middle part which is under the truck bed. I'm assuming
it is part of the recovery effort. You can't see it in the first pics
(although its not clear that it would be visible because of the
parmedic standing in the way), but after the driver has been
extricated, I assumed they backed the trailer under the edge of the
truck bed, and they are about to lift the whole mess up and put it on
the trailer to haul it away. Notice that the J-hooks are gone by this
time. (Or the one on the passenger side is, anyway.)
Granted, I am making some assumptions here, but between the fact
that the yellow trailer is definitely not hitched to the W250, the
color being a "highway/safety orange" color (and thus making it
possible that it was brought in for the recovery) I would think lends
some credence to that theory. Its not much to go on I admit, but that
has a lot more going for it than assuming the trailer was attached to
the truck, I don't see any evidence whatsoever to back that one up.
I stick by my original statement. There may be other pics out
there showing a trailer hooked to the truck, but none of the 4 on
wreckedexotics.com show that.
