If the person(s) in the RV lived I would be very surprised.

Dam, they almost got the semi filming with what I imagine was the red truck they were towing or was that a car hauler the RV hit and flung it back???
Not enough driving training in the world can save you from that.
Wow is right, damn!
Wow! Motorhome wasn’t slowing down. Im sure the driver was unconscious or something…super sad.
Holy S#!T. That looked like around my neck of the woods (i.e. I-10, between Tucson and El Paso). I drive that area when going back and forth to Phoenix. Normally nothing ever happens in that area except for road construction.
I tried to see if the video description had the location, but nothing.
I think the RV was towing that red truck.

I played it back over and over at the point of impact and you can kind of see maybe a vehicle being towed by the RV before impact. Which could be the red truck. You can also see another vehicle in the left lane in the distance, but it was moving with traffic. At the end of the video, that vehicle is nowhere to be seen. I can see in the semi's mirror that when the red truck goes by it continues in a straight line on the right shoulder. What's strange is that it is driving in a straight line and not veering off out of control. This one is a mystery to me because of the red truck going by in such a straight line.
The red truck was being towed by the MH, I seriously doubt anyone survived that... the MH hit the truck cab dead on and it all just exploded man.
Yea, that was a brutal accident.
that looked like 15 fwy on the way to Vegas.
Crazy.
Crazy.
There's a reason I always just got in the right lane and kept pace with the tractors when driving our diesel pusher.
It was being flat towed by the RV.
Either that or he just lost a steer tire and had no idea how to control his rig.

I have 22 years driving semis, about 1.75M miles and have seen some bad stuff, but nothing like that.
Sad day for their family & friends.
I’ve never flat towed but do you lock the steering wheel when towing like that? Maybe that’s why the pickup was going so straight?

No.
All I can picture is pushing a toy car with wobbly wheels. If you launch it clean and straight, straight it goes.
When you push it slow, the wheels wobble and it moves around like a knuckle ball.
The 3 strand cable catch systems they put in everywhere in MN saves lives.
