Overturned RV blocks traffic on I-84 in the Gorge
COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE - A truck and travel trailer jackknifed on Interstate 84 Friday afternoon in a crash that completely blocked the westbound lanes at Bonneville.
The crash, which happened around 2:45 p.m., involved a Ford F350 pickup that was pulling a 28-foot travel trailer. The truck somehow jackknifed and the trailer overturned onto its side.
The driver, who was the only person in the truck, was not hurt.
Traffic was being detoured at the Bonneville off-ramp and then back onto the freeway.
Lemme guess,,,too much weight in the rear of the trailer and it began to fishtail resulting in the crash. Even a dually F-350 cant handle that. Ask me how I know.
Headline says RV but story says Truck pulling a Camper......I need a job proof reading or writing stories....lol
 @Glenn Pierce Isn't an Rv the same.. LOL.. Dumb and dumber ! Oh, did I go with stupid.. Yes.. Stupid..
Well, that was certainly selfish of them. :-P

Glad no one was hurt.
I wonder what the hitch connection looks like. Was it a clean disconnect when the trailer flipped over?
 @Dirtman When 16,000 pounds rolls, it just rips the hitch off.  It doesn't look like a 5th wheeler, just trailer with a ball hitch.
That's a custom fit roadblock if I ever saw one.
