NHTSA Complaint #11111421 — 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY

ON SUNDAY JUNE 15, 2018, AT APPROXIMATELY 10:15 AM, I WAS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE, EAST ON ROUTE 72 TOWARDS LBI, THE BLACK PICK UP TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME LOST HIS HITCH. HE DID NOT HAVE IT SECURELY ATTACHED TO HIS VEHICLE. THE HITCH HIT THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME AND BEGAN BOUNCING AND WAS BOUNCING HIGHER AND HIGHER AND I HAD HEAVY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND IN THE RIGHT LANE AS WELL. I HAD TO TIME THE BOUNCE OF HIS HITCH SO I COULD GO OVER IT. WHEN I SUCCESSFULLY DID THIS THE HITCH MADE DENTS TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY CAUSED OTHER DAMAGES THAT I HAVE NOT YET FOUND. THE BLACK PICK UP TRUCKS' LICENSE PLATE NUMBER WAS NJ:H45HNJ. I DID NOT PURSUE THE VEHICLE. I MADE MY WAY TO MY WORK AND FILED REPORT WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY GEICO.
