    So to answer some questions, he has broken ribs, but that was from the airbags hitting him. He girlfriend has broken wrists..I guess a good endorsement for Dodge Ram 1500's...
    As for what happened, he did have anti sway, but yes, it was a LARGE trailer. I suspected he was overweight, but I can't confirm.
    So he was on the highway, and the trailer started swaying and he couldn't recover, and it flipped. That is all the information I got from his brother.
    That is all the info I need.
    He had the wrong brand of oil in the motor.
    :B
