January 2, 2024 when driving near mile marker 212 on southbound Interstate 75 in Georgia a dual trailer had a trailer dolly brake failure. The failure was to the left side of the (driver side) dolly. The ABF trailer had a number 553872. The failure ejected brake debris from the wheel of the dolly. This debris did damage to my newer 2023 KIA Sportage. The ABF truck did not stop and may have been unaware of the damage. The tractor had a cab # of 13376. My wife photographed the burn marks on the trailer wheel and the trailer number. The incident took place just prior to 2:32 pm. The incident involved heavy smoking from the dolly wheel, ejection of debris, and then no smoking. The dolly in question most likely had a catastrophic driver side brake failure. Photos are geo-tagged. The company has refused to pay or accept responsibility. Further they have refused to share information about the dolly inspection both prior to the incident and after. Either the company knows the dolly brakes were damaged and is hiding their responsibility for the damage or they do not know of the damage and kept dangerous equipment on the road. This leads me to the conclusion that the company is either unsafe or unethical or both.The reply says to contact safety. I did this already in January and they just give you the run around. They will not own up to the damage they do. They are like children running away from their bad deeds.
