My 2 teen daughters were on a trip with some of our family friends down in California. Matt, the husband, had to leave early for work, so Kara, her 2 kids, and my 2 kids were driving a suburban pulling a 26 foot travel trailer (like a big RV with kitchen, bathroom, sleeping areas) and working their way back home to WA.
On I-5 in the heart of East LA, they lost control and struck a slightly sloped wall on their left that was for an on-ramp about 15feet above their lane at the time.
Their suburban was sent hurtling into the air and crashing down on the passenger side roof where one of my daughters sat before it finally settled on the ramp facing the opposite direction 15 feet higher than they started.
The passenger seat area was completely crushed - the roof\windsheild pretty much conturing the seat. Of course the entire vehicle was totalled, but that one seat was really bad....
Matt and I flew right down to LA. Here are some pics:
