I’m calling bs on this one.
Why would that axel rip out unless it was all but there first?
Also why did the dump keep driving with an axel-less pick up behind it?

1st, Have a look at that rear 1/4 panel, Its rusted out. Probably 1/2 the mounting points for that rear axle are sus.
2nd, 50% of that axle was jammed under several tonnes of earth, asphalt and concrete.
And, perhaps he was just moving it a bit further to clear the road?

I saw a Ford dump truck that was destroyed by some guys trying to get it unstuck. They wrapped a chain around the front axle and then ripped the entire front rolling gear out of the frame. It looked too ripped apart to ever fix.

Yeah – almost looked like a hard repo.
