Just a good ol boys... never meanin' no harm...
The story:
A man scaled a sizable opening in a big RV and landed on a ferry tragically dying himself and endangering everyone else on board at a boat pier in Quebec, Canada.
According to CBC News, while passing through the little community of Tadoussac in northern Quebec, the RV accelerated downward and out of the driver’s control. The man was only a passenger in the enormous vehicle as it hit a ramp at speed, sending the camper into the air because he was unable to swerve away from the busy pier.
A 40-year-old female passenger was in the RV with the driver, who was identified by authorities as 40-year-old Eric Belec. Upon the arrival of emergency personnel, both were taken immediately to the hospital; however, Belec passed away from his injuries a short time later. Following the collision, the woman is allegedly in critical condition.
Witnesses told Radio-Canada that Belec tried to alert onlookers to the problem in any manner he could, including swerving to avoid automobiles and honking the RV’s horn. “He was trying to stop by swerving into the metal gates on the side of the road,” a witness explained.
The RV’s mechanical problems were probably to blame, according to Sgt. Hugues Beaulieu of the Quebec Provincial Police. Despite the fact that motor homes are notoriously unsafe and this particular model, which appeared to be significantly older, likely didn’t do Belec or his passenger any favors in terms of crash protection, it’s unlikely that Belec could have survived the wreck in any type of vehicle, judging by the impact made upon landing.
