New way open your camper?

Seriously though hope they’re ok. Probably just scared silly and need clean underpants. This was at the Chic-fillet in Mechanicsville VA.

How to do you this in a parking lot?
Unless he climbed the berm from the road in front of the GMC..maybe some tracks visible in the grass leading up to the POR.
Before anyone speculates on a cause, I will offer my expertise.
Crash was caused by speed too fast for conditions.

I wonder if he/she was just trying to cut down the hill and got too close? Or if they were running from someone/thing? Interesting pic.

That was my first impression, maybe the driver thought there was a driveway from the parking lot that led to the road.
The other would be pedal misapplication by an elderly driver.

If I had to guess likely left it in gear or hit the gas instead of the brake and jumped the curb and over it went. No apparent damage to grass on hill so I don’t think it happened coming up the road you can see there (rt 360). That parking area is between the Chic-filet and a Taco Bell.

They were disappointed that Chicken fail was closed, forgot it was a Sunday. Saw KFC across the road.

Looks like the truck was almost in park, but no E brake set.

It's frightening to think who is driving out there let alone with a camper..

Wonder if they'll be at the rally for a little warranty work?
