Some poor woman died when apparently the owner of this big Coachman didn't even hit the brakes. See it Here with pics.

Don't know that it would have made any difference but it was a Honda CRX not a CR-V.

CRX is much smaller and lower than a CRV
She had no chance
Too bad

I owned a CRX for 15 years - it's a small 2 seat car that weighs less than 2,000 pounds. No real chance against a big rv.

Don't know if we'll hear any more but sounds to me like the RV driver had a sudden medical problem, or simply fell asleep.
Why else would he move onto the shoulder and run a stop sign into the side of a stopped vehicle?
Scary stuff!

If you listen to the video with the reporter, she said that the car pulled out from a side road/stop sign. So, it may not be the fault of the RVer.
Considering the condition of the car, I was surprised at how little damage there seemed to be to the RV.
Sad whoever may have been at fault...

Looking at the RV and the Honda,....Look's like the RV ran over top of the car, Impact on the RV is more to the front drivers side and then came out from under the RV on the passenger side. He ran all the way over top of that car.

Sad situation. "Blame" won't bring the dead girl back!
I feel sorry for the RV driver, his fault or not, this will be on his conscience for a long time.
