    I looked at some weather history and there was a wind gust to 25 mph in Molino around the same time as this accident.

    No one is staying the obvious: napping, even if only for a moment. 1:00 am.

    Welding/cutting rig.

    Someone travelling to or from out of town work.

    We travel across the country like that al the time. I may be wrong but it appears to be a rig truck. (Welder) If so the truck is made I carry the weight

    Glad no one was hurt. That pick up seems to be a big ‘un so maybe a blown tire or something. I use so much extra care on Hwy 97. Traffic and curves are so unpredictable. Sad that that camper was destroyed.

    Appears to be too much trailer for that size pickup
    Way overweight or not….
    Glad everyone is ok
