This report examines a highway incident involving a FedEx double-trailer that detached while traveling at high speeds on Interstate 476. The analysis identifies a "false hook" as a likely cause, where the coupling mechanism appears secure during initial testing but fails under the stress of road vibrations. Despite the potential for a catastrophe, automatic emergency brakes and durable landing gear successfully brought the runaway trailer to a controlled stop against a median. The text emphasizes that commercial fleets must prioritize rigorous visual inspections and regular equipment maintenance to prevent such mechanical failures. Ultimately, the source serves as a safety warning for the trucking industry, highlighting the thin margin between a manageable equipment failure and a fatal collision.
