Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / September 2007Empty RV rolls onto highway
Here's one to push some buttons. http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/113-09132007-1406768.html I didn't see any pictures, so I don't know what type of RV it was, Could have been anything from a little Class C, up to a big motor coach. BTW, RV owner is from FLA.

Magic.... the same magic that made the VW's speed be a signicant part of the reason it was totaled.... the same magic regarding how it was left running... stupid media. The VW's speed might have created a few drag marks on the side if that.

OF course, had the VW driver been driving 45 instead of 35, she might have passed the point in question before the RV got there..... As a certain someone here likes to say, "SLOTH KILLS!"

As a > certain someone here likes to say, "SLOTH KILLS!" Kinda tough to do that there. It's about 150' from the intersection of PA routes 309, 663 & 313, a very busy and congested intersection. SL is 40 mph. I try to avoid it when possible, but hard to do sometimes. I also suspect the reporting is wrong in some details. Knowing that paper, I doubt the RV was running (imagine a snow bird wasting gas). Probably slipped into neutral, or left it in neutral. BTW, the diner has good food, and monster size burgers.

MOre than likely, it was never set in the first place.

It doesn't take much side damage to total a car if it is a few years old. If anything structural bent at all, it's going to be an expensive repair. I would expect that to happen just from the mass of the RV.

Wrestling match results: RV 1, Jetta 0. I've heard of an RV Dump, but this is the first time I've heard of someone dumping their RV!
