Dangerous cracks found in big trucks' towbars

From Morning Report, 6:40 am on 26 February 2018

Cracks that could cause crashes have been found in the towbars and connections of some of the largest truck-trailers on the road. RNZ News reporter Phil Pennington has found one trailer snapped off entirely and hit a bank, another almost came loose, and in a third a "potentially catastrophic" crack was spotted just in time by the driver.
