This accident looks simply horrible! I can't believe a motorhome would flip over on itself like that. The driver (presumably the husband) died in the accident and "the woman" (presumably the wife) was taken to the hospital.

I don't know what kind of motorhome this is, but hopefully our side walls will never be tested like this.

If anyone has more info or more links to this story, I'd appreciate them. Our "motorhome group" is quite interested - and understandably so!

That accident looks really bad.

I wonder what speed they were going
when they hit the parked car? Looks like the motorhome went end over end.
So tragic.

A quick story from NBC Cincinnati station.
Unfortunately, for this story there are not the nitty gritty details (kind of motor home for example) your looking to find. The female had minor injurys according to the story.

Here's another link from Kentucky Post

Looking at the pictures makes me wonder how the woman survived. Was she thrown out of the vehicle, perhaps?

Some reports have said "minor" injuries while others more serious. Nothing was said whether or not she was thrown out of the motorhome. I'm thinking she was still in there because they had to pry out the husband.

How scary. I, too wonder how fast the RV was travelling. I think the article I read said there were some weather-related visibility problems, so I wonder if the driver even saw the car before they hit. It does seem horrific from the images I saw, and I hope the woman comes through her injuries okay.

This is the first time I've ever seen an RV accident where one flipped like that.

You and Terry drive safe, okay?
