I observed most of this crash, and also observed the BRENHAM FIRE DEPARTMENT personnel doing a great job, in a difficult situation, with the busy Hwy 290 traffic all around them. There were only splinters left over from the travel trailer in the crash, and it was all they could do, to use a large front-end loader, and dump it onto a large container truck. I spoke to the couple, and they were unhurt, and amazingly calm, so was their dog – again, nice going Brenham Fire Department!
