Was he grateful you didn’t tail end him like I would have?

I had maybe 1.5 sends to make the decision. I would had killed him had I hit him had i veered left i my have t-boned the jeep turning left. I actually would have made it around to the right had the trailer wheel not caught the soft shoulder. I was assessed no blame.

Mexican roads have a very steep gradient from the pavement so a tire dropping down is already dangerous and trying to corret only accelerates the the probm since the low tire is going to bounce of the pavement and pull the vehicle further down the enbankment, and gravity and physics take over and roll the unit.

Going West from Las Cruzes on I-10 I saw the remains of a pull trailer that was blown of the road and rolled over, the tow vehicle was wheels up and the trailer frame attached, what was left of the trailer was scatered all over you could not tell what it was unles you know what you are looking at, as is in this photo, the cover for the air-con.

I am gladd that she seems to be OK phisically and not badlly hurt, hoppe the kittys are found soon, the most important item is she is alive the RV and some possesions can be replaced life can not be replaced.

My own rollover with my trailer back in June created wreakage that looks much the same. RV'd and rollovers do not mix. Vanda is lucky to be alive.IB853347201 it is not a scam, people here know me and I have known vanda for years

Here is mine




Here is how it happened from my dashcam

She is very fortunate to be alive.

is this for real? I mean IMHO I see a lot of stuff scattered around that could be wreckage of some sort but I don't see any tell tale indications that these are MH parts?

this looks like a scam.....just saying,,

Are YOU for real? Just saying.

The AC shroud is next to her and the Winegard bat wing is draped over it.

Hope she gets the help she needs.

I passed a trailer that had been in an accident on the freeway in Seattle and it looked just like the picture above. A front loader tractor was being used to pick up the pieces.

Amazing that she is in one piece enough to be able to sit there, probably in shock wondering what to do next. There isn't any recognizable cab space remaining.

I'm don't trust people much either as a rule, but I've seen accidents like this before look close you can make out the walls and I think it's the roof. I'm afraid unfortunately this is for real. I just hope that her cats wander back when she's at the wreckage. That's like losing family members.

Always distressing to see things like thus. I presume that's her, sitting. The secreteria de Comnicacionea & Transportes insists on a fine for "damage to the road bed". Older RV no collision coverage. ****!

She does have insurance I think, but I imagine it will take time. The RV was older. Knowing her, she is probably really distressed about the pets. Whether they died in the wreck or wandered off into the desert is a mystery. That is her sitting, she was taken to hospital after.

Tequila I am really concerned about this.
Does she have friends or a fellow RV'er helping her?
Some (not all) police and ministerios publicos look at an accident like this and see $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Do you know the area of the accident? Where this occurred? From the landscape it suggests the municipio de Ensenada. A thousand peso reward for the cats would have entire pueblos turning out to search for her pets and no I do not mean a thousand pesos of her personal money.
