News Story said ht realized he had no brakes as he went down the ramp, he started blaring the horn and trying to drag the railing to scrub speed, witnesses commended him on making it known there was something wrong so they should scatter. When i read report, said driver died at scene and passenger was in ICU.

Fatal Crash of RV Flying onto a Ferry Boat A terrifying video taken from a Cell Phone and from the surveillance cameras of the MV Jos-Deschênes II, which shows the violence of the fatal collision between a RV and the ferry that occurred on Monday. The driver who died Monday in the spectacular crash on the ferry Tadoussac loved his VR so much that he called her "baby" and took a jealous care. The family of Eric Belec, 40, are convinced that the tragedy was caused by a sudden mechanical break, not by a maintenance problem. The Lavallois had recently changed the brakes and spent many hours working on his mastodon, to make it as comfortable and safe as possible, according to many loved ones. His girlfriend that was in the VR is in a critical condition.

I've got a brother who built a camper. Completely frame-off. It's traveled tens of thousands of miles since the build and will drive prob about 12k miles this year, but **** like this scares the hell out of me.


Sad.
