I don't think it looks any better dangling from an overpass.

[Just smiffy]

Satellite dish is f............ um, not working....

Hope they are ok, it does make you think how it got upside down? You'd think it would slide on its side on a rollover .

Frightening...

That's frightening. I would have thought it would have slid along on its side. Wonder how that happened.glad the occupents were ok.

 

[sweetie]

And people ask if the roof will take the weight of a person while cleaning it.
Unless you weigh more than a motorhome, probably ok.

Built better than the one I saw in France. There was a pile if broken wood and bent aluminium then a bare upside down chassis. This was down an embankment on a bend and the Police were desperately trying to get approaching vehicles to slow down.

Should it matter if they are funsters or not. Terrible thing to happen.

 

[GWAYGWAY]

Do not why they needed CUTTING out the doors look normal and open. It must have actually flipped right over as there is little side damage, probably will be on recovery when they drop it on the side.

Knowing how the media like to sex up a story, they probably had to cut the seat belt.

Quite impressed at how well its stood up to that I'm guessing it must have only rolled the once
Imagine the damage on an older van and one with no rear seat belts

Or cut them out of their underwear.
