From Harris County (Houston area), Texas comes a warning to check your towbar/hitch ball mount/draw bar for a secure connection. A vehicle was struck in the windshield by a hitch ball mount which had come loose from another vehicle.
Sometimes it is easy to forget that something as simple as verifying the hitch locking pins are secure can save someone else from disaster.
