Seems some old pickups need better inspection by their owners.

Tonight while driving home, someone's tailgate of their pickup truck
opened and then fell off onto the street, sliding down the street in a
fury of sparks. It was quite large, and quite a safety hazard. The
driver just kept on going, unware of the loss.

I wonder if this driver had maybe just come from the White House, a
place now famous for "tailgates"?
