RV crash, sad outcome!

Very sad and avoidable. I worry for my two inexperienced teenage boys driving on our rural 2-lane roads.

Same here Army11Bravo...I've got two 12 year old boys and we live in some of the twistiest roads I've ever seen.

Sad story.

Our 18 year old daughter totaled my wife prized Lincoln Town Car a couple of months ago. She pulled out in front of another car on a rural road at night. Said told us she didn't see the other car even though the road was dead flat where it happened. Luckily no one injured.

Unfortunately many teens think they are the world's best drivers and with all of the gadgets and cell phones in cars it's no wonder so many accidents happen.

We will be praying for both of the teenagers and the driver of truck.

Everyone who tows worst nightmare! Horrible!!. I tow and almost everytrip I get cut off but the intersections always make me nervous. I always scan but you never know what someone will do. People today feel they are invincible and drive like ****.

Sad story.

So many times some one pulls out in front of us. Especially when we are towing. I guess they don't want to get stuck behind a big rig in front of them.

Yes, very sad story, young man likely lost the love of his life. Lots of changes lives.
One of many reasons I always drive with Lights on!

A tragedy for sure. I know how often I have been cut off in traffic by young girls who probably got up to late. 20 seconds to disaster. I know we are the minority out on the highway, but overall RVers seem to be a very alert safe group of drivers.

I have had an accident where I did not see the other car, and I looked, there was nothing there (I think they had headlights off) What can I say, at least the police report shows NO INJURIES, Property damage only (they later claimed injury but the police report said NO)

I often hear of people who pull out in front of something way bigger than they.. For example for a few years I road as a communications person on some Vintage Rail gear (Genuine Steam Engines pulling vintage rail cars)( this was in the 1980's or 90's (I think late 80s)

The year before.. Some teens thought they could beet the many tons Steam engine , coal tender and water bottle,m not to mention the consist behind it, (engine and tender Weight: 573,000 lbs They did not survive. Sadly the stress got to the conductor and he had a heart attack later that evening.

Oh according to the museum link I just got the weight from this is the last remaining Train engine of it's class.

Sadly the CEO of Norfolk and Southern retired so this living exhibit is not a static Museum piece. It no longer travels down the rails.

That is my biggest fear when I'm towing my TT. I've had people pull out in front of me before. Just lucky I was able to slow down or change lanes to avoid a collision. I think people see us coming and just don't want to get stuck behind us.
