Woman dies in MH accident at Flying J
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?

Well,
Since NONE of us were there, none of us were IN THE MOTOR HOME, and there is no DIRECT WORD from the coach driver, we can only try and ASSUME what happened. And we ALL KNOW WHAT ASSUME means. Until the FACTS are out, until he recovers from whatever damage was done to him and is ACCURATELY reported, we simply guess at the cause.
Who knows, like what has been stated, a heart attack, a stroke, a blackout of some sort, what? And, at this point in time, we're being lead to possibly believe that, the woman that was killed, COULD have been with the RV driver and, COULD have been directing him to enter the fueling station. Obviously we'll not know anything from her.
If, IF, she was with him, and she was DIRECTING the RV to the fuel pump, that would have meant that, that RV had to have STOPPED COMPLETELY at one point TO LET HER OUT. IF, that was the case, where did she get out in relation to what kind of speed was gained/attained to do that much damage?
Most of us know that there's not much strength built into the body framing of these rolling Kleenex boxes. So, when force is applied to that part of the structure, it collapse very easily. But still, that's a fair amount of damage if, he had just let her out (again IF, SHE WAS WITH THE RV DRIVER IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT'S NOT PROVEN YET) and that would/should mean that, they were at least, in the parking lot of the fuel station, if not close to the pumps.
But, again, we're all trying to surmise what happened. Who gives a rats a$$ about the reporting? The report MIGHT not be to everyone's liking but, the basics are there:
1. Accident with an RV at a fuel station
2. Woman killed
3. People injured/children involved
4. Driver not killed and transported to hospital.
5. Some witness's
6. Cause of accident: Unknown, still investigating
