Towing to fast results in roll over

I was thinking the same thing about speed and, if the driver =had= taken the right-hander too fast and got the trailer up on the left side wheels, you'd likely see scuff marks. Not saying he didn't do that, but I think there'd be evidence of it. Not beyond imagination that the trailer tipped right up on the edge and the driver just couldn't get it back down. Rollovers don't always happen quickly.

We have driven that road many times towing our fifth. The driver really was not paying attendence. Logging truck use that road also and narrow bridges or atleast one I really remember.

Sign pointing behind him is posted 20mph "S" curves. Side swiped the van, that may have caused a over reaction or it was a result of loosing control thru the curves. Bottom line it was not a good day for them!

Slow down. Way too many RVers like to go fast, they are proud of it.
Light rain can be bad, mixed with oil on the road.
Live in the Rockies and you learn to slow down in winter.
sometimes 20 mph is too fast.

So somebody is assuming this happened from too much speed. Look at the very beginning of the video. He was going straight across the bridge and it tipped to the left as he was just starting into a left turn. There is no way it took the whole distance across that bridge to tip over from the right turn before the bridge.
My opinion, not that it is worth any more the the original one, either high wind over the bridge or drifted to the right and hit the bridge throwing the right side up.

How fast does anybody think he was running.......on a 20MPH posted roadway

:H

Put too much faith in his dully pulling too fast. Probably read on here they are fool proof.

It's a shame. Such a nice truck and Montana fiver. Hope no one was hurt.
