I did a little edit...this was not me..it was the story at the RV shop I go to...
Well I took our trailer in the shop today to get the rest of the tall stump damage fixed.

But I was topped, by another trailer accident story...okay I will warn you now....I know the more of the details..
Here is the article

Motorcyclist killed in Stevens County crash
The Spokesman-Review

A motorcycle rider from Kelowna, B.C. was killed this morning in an accident in Stevens County.

Ralf Pfob, 59, was northbound on Highway 25 on a 1995 BMW motorcycle about 10 a.m. today. Andrew Postlewait, 39, of Everson, Wa., was southbound in a 2000 Ford pickup, towing a travel trailer. On a curve, Pfob crossed the centerline and hit the pickup, the Washington State Patrol reported.

Postlewait was not injured. Pfob was declared dead at the scene, WSP reported. He was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, which occurred about 5 miles south of Hunters.

Now according to the shop the motorcycle ended up in between the truck and trailer..the hitch area. So it was the trailer that he was hit by.
The trailer was due in at anytime while I was there. It did not get there before I left..which I think is so fine with me.
Now this is the gross part. The trailer has not been cleaned up at all yet. I could not even begin to imagine having that happen.

So glad YOU are ok. Your title made my heart stop. It's beating again now.

Sorry..I a little editing.

So sad.

I can't imagine being the person who was drivng the truck. Even tho the article clearly states the motorcycle crossed the line - think about living with yourself - it's so tough. I feel for all of them.

I knew a guy who was on his Harley and was hit by an RV that turned left in front of him. He lost a leg in the accident but was back riding again in a few months with a prosthetic leg.

Too bad about this guy. I can't imagine being the driver of the truck either. He must feel awful, even tho it sounds like it wasn't his fault. I don't think I would even want the trailer back after that.

That was my thought...I would fix it and get rid of it.
