Rollover of a pick up and trailer
Don't know if it is a travel trailer or 5th wheel or something else, but it doesn't look good. http://northernontario.ctvnews.ca/highway-144-near-gogama-re-opens-after-rollover-1.3399930

I know a thing or two because I've experienced a thing or two (for 77 years).
I turned over a loaded cotton trailer when I was 12 years old (towing with a farm tractor at low speed on a ditch bank). The hitch was designed to break off (by someone smarter than me). This is what got me started in physics, and vehicle weight and balance and HEIGHT of center of mass. During my high school years I built a motorcycle trailer, a small camping trailer, a boat trailer, and a racecar trailer, and street rods (my Dad was a car guy). He provided me a 1952 Ford pickup truck (daily driver). And, I learned to fly in my Junior year (my uncle owned two Stearman crop dusters). And, I never quit. Today, I tow a 4x4 GMC with a big diesel pusher MH), and have never had and accident on a public road. But, I've seen many and have studied a few.
Guilty as charged, I can form an opinion on the cause of an accident just by looking at the aftermath.
Also, During my years working as a commercial pilot, we did recurrent training every six months,....at which time we studied NTSB findings on aviation accidents.
