Unlike the TT's of the past, I'll just add that some of these newer TT's sit VERY high off the ground. I wouldn't doubt that with a lot of speed and a stationary RV, a car would easily go under

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

That car has a low front, the RV sets high. Simply driver did not slow down and drove under the combo. It would have been unusual for the hitch to separate as all it did was elevate it like going over a hill.

Yep. It's like the camel's nose under the tent. Once the low front got under the trailer bumper it just rode up the hood, windshield, etc. Also consider that the axle tubes would glide right over the roof pretty easily once the roof was propping up the rear of the trailer far enough.

Not fake news, just someone getting the facts wrong, and using the wrong number

Fake news is something that did not happen

Example "in the news today every internet poster checked his facts and posted absolutely correct verifiable stories"

Now that is FAKE news
I can explain it to you.
But I Can Not understand it for you !

The tail light and the rear bumper fascia of the Nissan look undamaged. I thing the damaged part at the back of the Nissan is what's left of the front bumper fascia, the hood, or both.

The "effort" being shown by the gawkers to render aid is outstanding. One fellow (?) did have that all mighty safety yellow vest on though.
Can you imagine the thoughts of the Ram driver when he went in the air? WHOA!! Too much air in the bags!!
Glad all were O.K.

I already had. It’s the front of the car, scraped up over the roof and laying behind it. The actual rear of the car is fine (look at the tail light for example).

rear damage

teeter/totter

once the car reached pass the balance point of the TT, the TT dropped onto the back half of the car, plus the car was probably still moving, dragging the tt across the back of the car
