A Hopkins motorist reported his vehicle was struck Saturday by a trailer towing a couch on 12th Street just southwest of the Gun Lake Casino. The motorist said the person ahead of him had a couch not strapped to his trailer, it fell off and landed on his car. The motorist was not injured but there was damage to his car. He added that the guy ahead of him didn’t even stop, not sure if he knew it happened or not. Information about the couch, trailer or driver is being sought.
You’d have to be mighty close to the trailer for something to actually fall and “land on” your car.
I’ve not seen it myself but my buddy (who listens to a lot of Pink Floyd) tells me that some couches can fly. So just in case, a person may want to extend the standard 3 second safe following distance when couches are involved.
