Davenport Flying J accident

There must be more to this story. Did the MH driver pass out or was he just a bad driver? Maybe too old to be driving? How fast was he going to do that much damage?

Glad the kids are alright! Very sad accident!

what tore the front of that motor home up so bad? I don't
think just hitting that car would produce those results

I also noticed that the reporter needs to return to school. Bad article.

Yikes, terrible story! So glad those children got out alive, but what a shame for the woman killed.

"A Fourth of July family outing nearly turned into tragedy Saturday when an out-of-control recreational vehicle slammed into a car full of children at a Davenport gas station."

It nearly turned into a tradedy :?

Maybe the reporter was upset because only one died and they didn't have a major story to report..?

Wow.

Probably the "thought I was braking, but really floored the gas pedal" problem.

The picture of this, and other, stick built MH's make me more convinced than ever, that buying an older Bluebird Wanderlodge was the correct decision. Built on a crash certified, all steel body and frame. Bluebirds have rolled onto their side, been pulled back upright, and driven off.

The extent to which regular RV's literally self destruct in relatively minor accidents, is appalling.

This happened fairly close to us and was on the news last night. We can't believe the damage. Hoping to learn more about the accident in the coming days.
