What you have pointed out is one of my fears or the insurance scams I believe they call "duck and dodge" and one where they backup into you at a red light or stop sigh. However in this case I see no scams or the MH being "cutoff". From pictures shown I see no blind curve. Don't know how long lane was blocked and tow truck had been on the site but everyone else prior managed to get around the scene. Have no idea of what actually happened, but MH appears to be at fault. You don't drive between emergency vehicles. No matter why lives have been changed for ever and we can only hope lessons for future similar situations will be learned.
I've ordered a dashcam for my newly acquired RV. Driving in this part of the country (NJ-NY-PA) is insane. People have no consideration for vehicles that don't stop and turn as well as their sedans or SUVs. I ride a motorcycle through this mess and it's utter chaos. I'll never forget my safety instructor saying "every time you ride, an attempt will be made on your life." It's true. I can't imagine dealing with drivers around here while driving at or near the speed limit in a 30+ foot RV that accelerates just a bit quicker than a bicycle. People will kill themselves to get around you.
On the original topic - it's sad no matter how you look at it. It's easy to play monday morning quarterback on the Internet. Every accident has its own set of unique circumstances. Woulda, coulda, shoulda doesn't bring back the cop or make the driver of the RV feel any better.
