Glad the people were not seriously injured or worse.
Of course if they had done a proper side wind calculation of the loading per square foot vector times the GCW of their GCWR rating, they would have known they could have encountered wind that exceeded the delta W rating of the hitch preload factoring in the China bomb tires...:h um divided by the rear spring rate x the air bags...:h (I never was very good at computer desk accident analysis... anyway
On the Great Plains we have a shorter scientifical explanation for this:
"The wind blew them off the road." (or bridge in this case)
