5 Lucky People

From my home town newspaper the article of a RV crash in SW Iowa. How they got through it alive is a miracle.

WOW! Saw the news in the Omaha World Herald this morning but this had more information. Can't believe how demolished that RV is.

Campers do not fair well in an accident. Hope everyone will be ok.

In reading the article it appears the tail wagged the dog. It said the trailer lost traction. They may have loaded their trailer wrong and caused it to sway and caused the loose of control of the RV.

Looks like a motorhome was pulling an enclosed trailer with sound equipment in it.

It says the driver got into a situation that caused him to "over-correct" so it could have been operator error... or, it could have been the trailer was loaded incorrectly or some of the equipment shifted. We'll probably never know.

Hoping they are all going to recover quickly and that they had insurance.
