Wow, that's one REAL OLD Winnebago!

Probably parked for years in a CG and the old boy got drunk, passed out and woke up and thought he could drive it. :B

That's not an "obvious". Of course it's a possibility as it is in ANY accident but why start rumors when you just don't know?

old Winnie with most likely questionable maintenance

Just where do you get this gem from?

Driver was in his 50's and seems rather young for that.

Many people in the 50s have heart attacks or may have some other condition such as diabetes (which affects ALL ages).


You don't normally see an RV out so late.

Not true. I seem them all the time when I'm out late.

What's your point here? You are clueless as to what happened. Why make this something so diabolical when it's most likely just an unfortunate accident? Your comments are based on nothing except pure speculation.

Thirty years of police work. At that time of night, impairment is danged likely. Look, I've been there, I've done the investigations, I speak from my own experiences.

Gotta love this place and the ire it produces.

Sad story all around.

What I keyed on in the story: old Winnie that driver lives in, out way late at night 1130pm.

News report and even the police comments left out the obvious: Possible driver impairment, which tox tests will determine; old Winnie with most likely questionable maintenance Possibly lost its brakes?

They said possible medical issue. Driver was in his 50's and seems rather young for that. I can't think of a vehicle-into-a-home crash I ever investigated, occurring at night, that didn't involve impairment.

You don't normally see an RV out so late. Why was he out driving so late? A factor? I don't know.

Hope there is some follow up to this story; too many unanswered questions.

The news item leads me to believe that perhaps the driver died at the wheel before the crash. No skid marks, MH a long way into the house.
