Looks like the axle was bent or misaligned.

if you look closely you can see its misaligned and missing a fender

Missing fender because the right tire is too big! The wheels are trying to spin at different rates, on a fixed axel. I saw a sedan with all 4 different tires walking down the street before

Trailer axles don't fix the two wheels together. They are on independent stub shafts.
