From the Youtube link, presumably by the tow truck driver:
"The driver of the 36 foot RV fell asleep. The RV went off the right shoulder hitting a large tree. Impact was against the upper corner of the windshield. The tree sheared off the entire roof and right side wall . The passenger was sleeping in the rear bedroom and got pinned beneath the siding and roof. It took the Ilwaco Fire Department over an hour to dig through the debris to extricate her . She appeared to have non life threatening injuries.
Owner of RV told me he only had liability insurance and he had no money to pay for tow. OUCH !!!
3 hours on scene doing the recovery, 3 hours next day cleaning up mess, about $1000 cost to get rid of RV at dump, $300 to get rid of loose debris. Living the dream."
