On July 2nd we received a call from the RCMP to respond to a dual vehicle rollover involving a 30' class C motor home with a Nissan pickup in tow some 40
kms from town. When Len and I arrived the story went like this.... A 72 year old lady fell asleep at the wheel while her 84 year old husband was napping in the
rear. The Mo Ho crossed the center line and as it touched the opposite ditch it woke her up and she jerked it to the right and lost control of the tow behind
which separated at the hitch and proceeded to roll. The Mo Ho slid back across the highway only to roll in the opposite ditch. The only real injuries were a
broken wrist for the driver.
We set out to clean up the scene by recovering the pickup first and loading it on Lens deck truck for the the trip to our compound as I came up with a plan to recover the Mo Ho.
To avoid any more highway congestion I drove 300' up the road and backed into the ditch and lined me up with a Holmes tree that was a good anchor for a snatch block to roll the Mo Ho over.
Once uprighted we repacked the Mo Ho for the trip back to the highway and after 3 hours of winching with no keys I had it in a position for Darcy to load on our Talbert trailer. Darcy was on a deadhead right past were I was working so this made a good little back haul.
Later that evening we unloaded it and assisted the folks find some of their belongings.
