lesson I take away: never stay in RV if parked on side of interstate

The guy who was killed was outside of his motorhome working on it. Would have been far better off staying inside of it, looking at the picture of the old motorhome.. This was a different accident than the one the op reported. Both incidents very sad. This is why so many states are writing slow down/move over laws! Way to many patrolmen and highway workers, in addition to general public motorists are getting killed because people don't slow down and move over.

Was once broke down on one of the exit ramps between one interstate and another interstate down in Tennesses. The tow truck operator told me that he had been hit 3 different times on that particular exit ram when hooking up to broken down vehicles.
