It's pretty sad really, they were on their way to help at the Bentley Blockade to stop the area turning into a gasfield. They seem nice people prepared to link arms with others who don't want their environment ruined through greed.

"A woman and a friend had a lucky escape when the caravan she was towing start fishtailing down the highway and collided with a truck."

I hope she was insured, otherwise there may be more sad news to come.

Never a pretty sight and always tragic for the owners.
Most of these problems start with loading. The rest comes from towing speed.
