Is there a story behind this accident?
This accident happened after the 4th of July on I91 in CT. What happened? Is everyone OK? Any lessons that need to be shared with others? http://wtnh.com/2017/07/07/car-accident-closes-part-of-both...

....the C DOT traffic cam imagery is hellacious. Little can be deduced.
This is the little I can deduce from the imagery:
-when the camper "landed" on the on-coming inside shoulder, a tractor trailer rig (based on the width of the dual wheels skid marks) had both feet on the brake pedal to the floor to swerve out of the way of the camper (this begs: what was a tractor trailer doing in the inner-most passing lane);
-the pick-up truck's bed bottom appears to be severely warped / damaged;
-as Suds mentions, pick-up ended its journey in the inside breakdown lane;
-broken light standard ended its journey on the on-coming inside shoulder / breakdown lane...

....need to see crash investigator photos of the pick-up from every angle to determine more.
