Driver lost control down mountain

Earlier in the week a man driving his truck hauling his 5th wheel down Red Grade road out of the Big Horn Mtns near Sheridan WY, lost control & went over the side of the mtn. i was told he bailed out before things got really ugly. im guessing the rig went at least 200 yds down before coming to a stop.

The angle at which the trailer sits

Whats left of the Powerstroke

Pic of the trailer from off the mtn. its hard to see, but the road is top-right of the photo

I had a heck of a time walking back up the mtn. im surprised the trailer didnt just disintegrate.
