Likely another ruined Vacation

Well not much detail about this RV crash, but my assumption is that headed west on Hwy 26 in Beaverton, they were headed for the Oregon Coast. Very sad.

    Doing the armchair accident investigator routine....

    That is your most likely cause. This is right after Hwy 217 merges in with Hwy 26. It is a congested area. Even when traffic is flowing, it is not uncommon for someone to zip in and out of traffic lanes. Many of them don't realize the RV bearing down on them doesn't stop & maneuver like their little car can. The RV may have wrecked to avoid a problem caused by a different driver.

    Yup, total conjecture on my part, I admit that. But knowing that stretch of road, I would be surprised if the RV operator was the sole cause of the accident.
