Well, I can't be of any help, but I hope when you DO get back to Ohio, you
will flesh this story out a bit. A lot can be learned from the accidents of
others.

Info that would be useful is what were you towing with?, how did you lose
control?, is everyone alright?, that sort of thing.

Best of luck,
