RV Hits Truck
Written in description: 2/15/2023, I-5 North in Everett, Wa. Had just got on to the highway, I merged into my lane and was moving along when this clown in the RV decided to move in front of me without making sure it was clear. I braked and turned left at the last second keeping me from slamming into the barrier and the wall. I was driving a 26ft. 19,000 lbs. truck full of batteries. Driver of RV was uninsured and had a suspended license. Two passengers were in the back of the RV and there two dogs inside. One was kind of ejected out the front the other was still inside. Driver got his head stuck in the steering wheel, no belt I think, had to be extracted. One passenger was lying down in the back. She was transported with injuries along with the driver. Other passenger was sent too, unsure of his injuries. Update...No, I did not cut anyone off when I got on the Highway, my signal was on the entire time I was driving on the on ramp just in case people miss my giant white truck and I checked my mirrors, and I looked out my window several times before moving over. After further review of the video, the driver of the RV pitted himself. When I hit the brakes, we separated causing him to fly across the highway and slam into the wall. |

Re: RV Hits Truck
I have a close friend who has worked at both Monaco Coach and Marathon Coach. He said that with the exception of a very few high-end manufacturers (he cited Newell and Prevost as the best in the U.S.), motorhomes are built more on hopes and dreams than actual sound design and build principles. |
