How unfortunate the motorhome driver did not exit a half mile ahead.
Colorado State Patrol closed the tunnel and roadblock sent westbound I-70 traffic on US 6 over Loveland Pass.
2 hour delay. Traffic crawling for miles.
Transporting blood platelets emergently to Grand Junction, I was directed through the tunnel and saw what happened.
Nice new? motor home destroyed above the tandem wheels.
Are these vehicles not designed to withstand incompetent braking - if that was the cause?

Thank you.
No vehicles are designed to withstand incompetent braking.
There is no more unreliable, low quality vehicle on the road than a motorhome.
And a $100K Class A is NOT an expensive Class A, it is the lower end of the range.
And anyone can drive one with nothing more than a regular driver’s license.

That depends on the state and the size of the RV, some states require a special license for RV’s over 26,000 lbs.

I didn’t think you could buy a Class A motorhome for $100k. That would be dirt cheap.
