Plane falls off trailer, flips on freeway: Temecula, California

An airplane being towed fell off its trailer Friday night, July 12, and flipped upside down on Interstate 15 south of Valley Parkway near Temecula, the California Highway Patrol reported on its website. 

The accident was reported at 7:44 p.m. between Temecula Parkway and the Temecula Border Patrol station.

The plane was being towed from Fallbrook to Corona by a truck traveling 45 mph in the slow lane of northbound Interstate 15 when the trailer began to wobble, said CHP Officer Juan Garcia from the scene.

“He applied the brakes several times to slow it down lost control and it flipped over on the center divider,” Garcia said.

The plane, described as being 25 feet long, was in the center divider.
