Our thoughts go out to his family!
From the story you posted here, there is no mention of a blowout in the story. There is also nothing in this story that states his wife was following him. The main witness that was quoted said him and his wife (the witness' wife) were driving behind him.
The witness also stated that the speed of the RV never changed, even after it veered off the highway. It sounds to me like it might have been a medical emergency.

Mr. Wambold said that police arrived within two minutes after he made the 911 call and, due to the trees blocking the front doors of the RV, one police officer pulled his car up to the back window on the driver's side and stood on the hood of the police car to try to get the window open in order to save people from the RV.
This is the main reason we never lock the main camper door.
