Truck unit looks like it up to the top with logs, the trailer is not far behind. It has a tangle with a camper van - the camper van should be TOAST. But the truck has a number of blown tyres !!!! Something is not right!!!!!

Several rear driver tyres have blown and the truck is sitting on its rims at the rear RHS. It would appear that debris from the blown tyres has struck the rental motor home.

As long as logs are 2 thirds the width of a log below the bolsters then nothing wrong with that.
