Glad they're going to be okay. Prowlers tend to be heavy, plus it was pretty long. Was that a Ram 1500 Hemi? I have one and wouldn't pull that trailer. Ouch, so sorry for them!

I suspect all that "wrong oil" drained out when the truck was upside down! :E

Glad that they were not injured more seriously. It could have really been a disaster.

I'd say... It's seen better days. Least the didn't get hurt too bad.

As for what happened, he did have anti sway, but yes, it was a LARGE trailer. I suspected he was overweight, but I can't confirm.
So he was on the highway, and the trailer started swaying and he couldn't recover, and it flipped. That is all the information I got from his brother.

That is all the info I need.
He had the wrong brand of oil in the motor.:B

Totally the wrong oil.

That is sad, hope both recover fully and the crash occurred on the way home, not on the way to!

Sadly. On the way for a two week trip.

Trailer looks pretty large

[Hannibal]

Glad they're going to be ok.

[xteacher]

Sad. I'm glad they're okay. Speed? Truck size vs. trailer?

A rollover is a nasty crash. Fortunately they only received minor injuries.
Please, update us if you learn what caused the rollover.

Ouch! I wonder what kind of anti-sway device was used, if any. Do you know?

[bguy]

Glad nobody was hurt.
