Police are investigating a single vehicle crash involving a car towing a caravan on the Cygnet River Bridge, near Cranbrook about 12 noon today (10 February).
Initial investigations suggest the car lost control causing the caravan to collide with a guard rail, detach from the vehicle and break apart on impact.
Thankfully no-one was injured in the crash.
Police are reminding motorists to check their vehicles before towing caravans, trailers, or boats, particularly during busy travel periods.
Key safety tips include:
• Ensure your towing setup is suitable for your vehicle's towing capacity.
• Distribute weight evenly inside the caravan or trailer to maintain stability.
• Check brakes, lights, couplings, safety chains, and tyre pressures before setting off.
• Drive to the conditions.
• Allow extra stopping distance, as towing requires more space to brake safely.
