Sad when these people endured all they did only to be killed enjoying what they fought for...

If the trailer was loaded improperly, as @GAmedic pointed out it can sway uncontrollably. An inexperienced driver will often hit the brakes, which makes it worse, and can lead to the trailer driving the truck. To correct it you actually need to increase speed, which seems counterintuitive to most drivers.
Terrible tragedy regardless of what caused it, may the victims rest in peace.

At first read, everyone would have been ready to crucify the 23 yr old driver of the truck....only the investigation will tell.
I cringe every time I see a group of motorcycles travelling, it is just so easy for something, anything to go wrong.
The pick up driver charged with 7 counts of homicide..

Yup, and his "friends" offered up his history of cocaine and heroine use to the police. If the material found in his apartment tests positive he will also be charged with that as well.
10 people set out that day to enjoy riding motorcycles through some of the best roads NH has to offer. 7 of them will never go home and three will never go home the same. Very sad.
Godspeed to them all.

Perhaps something good will come of this in the end.

I understand what ur talking about here, but since when will a suspension keep pretty much anyone from driving? This terrorist would have done this regardless.
Absolutely gut wrenching.

You're right. Possibly just a step to show they had done something, but a step nonetheless.
