Bruner, 67, of Albany, Minnesota.. was attempting to move the vehicle to straighten a trailer it was pulling when he fell out of the driver’s side door...
“The driver landed in the path of the motor coach’s rear tires. The motor coach was still in drive and slowly moving forward.”
The Clark County coroner’s office said Bruner died from head and neck trauma. His death is listed as an accident.

He would have had better luck at the Roulette Wheel.
I’m confused.
A motor coach is an RV that you DRIVE.
A trailer is (Travel Trailer) is an RV that you pull.
Which is it?
In the olden days, Grandpa would get run over by his tractor in the field.
As to leaving things in Drive, have you seen the train movie “Unstoppable?”
Some people do not know how to use their mirrors while maneuvering a trailer.

That may be true. But backing an RV towing a trailer?
Mirrors are useless.
You need a spotter.
Right. I guess it’s also possible that he had a “medical event” that caused him to black out and fall.
Las Vegas ??
I guess he didnt beat the odds ........
You basically can't see a trailer that's being towed by an RV. Heck, I have a utility trailer that I can't see when I back it up, sits too low and is narrower than my Sant Fe. I have to basically ensure I don't see it in the mirrors to know I'm backing it straight.
Invest in a rear view camera
A trailer can also be a boat, a car, a toy hauler, or any number of things. Large RVs pull many things. My folks used to tow their car as a trailer when going south for the winter.
I heard about a gambler who saved a lot of money in Vegas when he got of the plane and walked right into the propeller.
Eggs-zactly.
Ban assault RV’s.
Fixed it.
RV must be a cousin to evil SUVs.
Yeah...probably trying to drive while hanging out of the door. I would say something snarky but I am sure I have done that prob. many times before with my 67 Dodge!
And guns too. Those nasty things just jump up and go off with no warning!
Those AR 15 are the worst!
Years ago, a neighbor of mine went hunting and his car got stuck and he tried to fix it and got stuck under the car...Somehow the car caught fire and you know the rest...He was all alone.....
Sad outcome, but some cars literally weigh a ton. Human beings are comparatively ‘petite’ at 400lb or less.
