The roof looks just like my Allegro Open Road 32CA. It's not an Allegro Bus. I hope the driver is recovering OK.

Can you even push open the exit door when the coach is on it's side?

This was a different accident than the one the op reported. Both incidents very sad. This is why so many states are writing slow down/move over laws! Way to many patrolmen and highway workers, in addition to general public motorists are getting killed because people don't slow down and move over.

CLARKSVILLE, TENN. — A Florida man was killed Thursday afternoon when a tractor trailer smashed into the motor home he was repairing on the side of Interstate 24.
At about 3 p.m., Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Vincent Meaker was inspecting a tractor trailer that was on the side of the interstate when he noticed a stalled RV blocking the right westbound lane about 200 yards away.
Meaker went to the vehicle, which had Illinois plates, and helped push it to the shoulder of the road near the Trenton Road overpass, then returned to the inspection. The RV’s driver then got under the vehicle to repair it.
Shortly after, at about 3:10 p.m., Meaker heard squealing and saw another tractor trailer skidding sideways down the interstate. It struck the RV, instantly killing the driver, Roger Dale LaGrone, 65, of Temple Terrace, Fla.
A passenger in the RV, Kenneth R. Nichols, 67, of Ridgefarm, Ill, was taken to a hospital, mainly as a precaution.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, Carl J. Anderson, 26, of North Baltimore, Ohio, was not hurt.
Tennessee Highway Patrol issued citations, but criminal charges will not be filed, according to a THP report.
