I looked at some more pictures. There is no indication in the aerial shot of the what looks like clay or sand that there was an attempt to try and stop the vcehicle. No huge ditches of skid marks from attempting to stop.
There IS a distinct drop off from the interstate down to that dirt area. Look at perspectives of wall and parked cars in upper left how low they are compared to interstate.
I have 'always' had a deep concern for Class A windshields. It is a know fact that these windows just explode and are destroyed from a simple 30 mph collision. Many of us have actually experienced it and know all what gets damaged and costs. IMHO it is what the Achilles heel is of our A's.
A Class A being jerked off the road and over that drop off with the force of 60mph WOULD have destroyed that front windshield upon impact.
Right then and there.
Sad to say but IMHO, and like the rest of us 'just from pictures'... Those poor RV'ers died upon impact with and/or from the windshield right at that drop off, and the MH under power continued on also being pushed by a 5,000 lb toad. :(:(
