A travel trailer is not a camper?

News article says "truck and Camper"... but that's a truck and travel trailer.

See nowhere in article or follow up where speed (fast or slow) was even mentioned.

Glad no serious injuries.

I think the proper oil was used, but the issue, but chose regular vice synthetic oil to save money. Always buy and use synthetic oil, because you never know what will happen.

And, as momma always said, where clean underwear, just in case you get into a car wreck.

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.

Zooming in, it looks like a Blue Ox hitch. Glad it wasn’t any worse. Hope they heal up and recover quickly.

Glad they're going to be okay. Prowlers tend to be heavy, plus it was pretty long. Was that a Ram 1500 Hemi? I have one and wouldn't pull that trailer. Ouch, so sorry for them!

I suspect all that "wrong oil" drained out when the truck was upside down! :E

Glad that they were not injured more seriously. It could have really been a disaster.

I'd say... It's seen better days. Least the didn't get hurt too bad.

He had the wrong brand of oil in the motor.:B

Totally the wrong oil.

That is sad, hope both recover fully and the crash occurred on the way home, not on the way to!

Sadly. On the way for a two week trip.
