One driver was hauling a trailer when the other driver crossed the center line and sideswiped it. The impact broke the trailer hitch and bent the axle. The injured driver later experienced a herniated lumbar disc and was unable to operate heavy machinery. The other driver stated she was distracted by her dogs. The defense argued the impact was insufficient to cause injury and the condition was due to degenerative disc disease.
