WOW! That's a Dodge 1500.
Looking at that wreckage makes one glad for safety improvements/designs.
Glad he and family are OK and just banged up a bit.

Just for the big picture and maybe help others:
What speed was he towing at?
Was it windy....gusting?

Hoping for a fast recovery. Best wishes to your brother and hos family!!
