Bad Motorhome accident in Ohio

Thanks for the additional links, Craftlady.

Seriously though, this is such a freak thing that there is no way the manufacturers can predict and build for it. I say he HAD to have been going more than 25 - 30 miles per hour because at that speed, you're just not going to have the force to flip a ~30,000 - ~40,000 pound vehicle end to end!

Your welcome.
I agree about the speed. They were also towing a vehicle behind the motorhome. I'm sure that factored into the motorhome flipping if the vehicle was swinging around. That cut-in-hill area in a bad stretch of highway, your either going up hill towards Northern Kentucky or down hill towards Cincinnati and the Ohio River.

That is an incredibly bad stretch of roadway. Very curvy, very steep grade.

Agreed. Driving down I-75 to Atlanta, that stretch of highway makes me nervous because I can be doing 80 mph, and I'll still have semi's right on my bumper. Freaks the hell out of me.

Debbie, that is scary thinking about that kind of construction. I wonder how my parents 5th Wheel is assembled. If that were ever to flip, it'd either have to tear free of the hitch or take the pickup with it.
