- A fun family getaway to view the solar eclipse ended in tragedy. Police say Dr. Monika Woroniecka was riding in an Airstream camper that was being towed by her husband. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew open the passenger side door. Woroniecka was thrown onto the road as her family watched in horror. It's illegal to ride in travel trailers in 39 states, including New York. Airstream released a statement saying, "The safety protocol advises owners that they cannot tow an airstream with people inside."
It's unfortunately she died, but it's common sense not to ride in one of those while being towed
DON’T try to CLOSE the door when you’re doing 65 mph!!!!
@@traybern that too
If it doesn't have seatbelts, that should also be a huge red flag not to travel in it
@@tommyl5319 a seatbelt aint gonna do much if you wreck in a camper. They're made to break apart not survive a rollover or collision.
It's also a law.
Feels wrong to interview a daughter that's grieving literally the day after her mom died
Unfortunately the media could care less they love this stuff all they see is $$$$
@@spade8388it's COULDN'T CARE LESS
Nah. She handled it well, and she didn't mind.
My condolences to the family. Maybe she felt by speaking on her last personal recollection of events with her mother, that it may bring public awareness to the dangers associated with riding inside of one.
This happened less than 24 hours ago and Inside Edition has a full story complete with family photos and interviews. Very strange.
While this is a tragedy, I can't help but blame the family. They should've known better. Sitting in the trailer is basically the same as sitting in the back of a truck. Please, use some common sense people
You'd also think as a doctor, she would have recognized the danger of traveling in a trailer at highway speeds.
I don’t think a gust of wind sucked her out either. It’s not a pressurized cabin like an airplane.
You can't use what you don't have!!
Try LOCKING the DOOR!!!!
@@mrquirky3626 She's a doctor, not a mechanic.
Never leave living beings in a towed trailer!!!!! NEVER.😢
Or pets
she wasn't left. she VOLUNTARILY climbed in
@@Marshallkhamou a pet is a living being🤣
@@GorgieClarissa yeah, and they left her there!
Yeah, I learned that by watching the long, long, trailer when Lucy got a flour shampoo 😂
Back in the early 1970's, when our family was taking a cross country trip with a trailer, my dad & mom had to constantly refuse my requests to ride in the trailer when we were on the road, citing laws & safety concerns. Mind you, this was before mandatory seatbelt usage was required! I mention this to show that the idea of riding in a trailer being pulled was not considered a smart move, even decades ago.
It was illegal in the 1970’s.
Yes exactly! It’s a little amazing that someone so educated would make that critical error. It’s a tragic unnecessary accident.
Hahahaha! Same! I'd BEG them and they said no.
It just sounds like common sense!
Stunning that a doctor doesn't/didn't know its illegal to be in a towed vehicle.
I doubt it was on her medical exam. She may have been an awesome doctor but didn't have much common sense when it comes to everyday things.
I'm sure she knew but took the chance.
Why?
@@same5952She was a pediatrician. Trust me, she knew, and took the chance unfortunately.
Why not just buy an RV and travel.
Her and her husband should have known better. Is illegal for a reason
@PHN-2024 Can't tell if you're being anti-Polish specifically or anti-immigrant in general.
So they seen that it was legal in some states, and others it wasn't, but never checked their own? It sucks the tragedy, but that comment doesn't add up.
They knew
@@AyAyronH *saw
*She
*It's/It is
Her daughter admitted that they knew they werent supposed to ride in it in some states. She was a doctor and knew better.
Did she say that? Not what I heard. Just have some sympathy, this is a relatively small mistake that ended up costing them everything.
@@dontworryaboutit273go listen again. She did say that. She admitted that some states it was legal and other states it wasn't. She literally says this...
I heard she didn’t know
@@GorgieClarissa she never said if she knew if it was legal in HER state
@@dontworryaboutit273 Hardly a "Small Mistake" What yardstick do you use to measure a mistake anyway?
The reporter said the family didn’t realize was illegal.
“We were looking and we saw in some states it was legal and some states it wasn’t.” -The daughter
They knew. 100% avoidable.
That says nothing about how dangerous it seems... Also, they saw that it was illegal which should have clued them in that it could be dangerous... Do or do not based on what makes sense. If it matches the laws that is great, but do the right thing even if it breaks the law, and do not do the wrong thing even if the law allows it.
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 “Do the right thing even if it breaks the law.”
How tf does that apply to this situation?
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 she was checking the door so multiply the danger by at least triple.
@@damidnightgolfer - Ya, real bad time to check the door.
They knew riding it was legal in some states while illegal in some, don't you think it would've been obvious why it was illegal?
DUH? If it was "Obvious" they wouldn't have been riding in it. Obviously is was not obvious.
I want the daughter to name ONE state where it’s legal. You know… because she can’t.
They were in NY, where it is *Illegal* .
next youre gonna tell me chemicals known by california to harm you can harm you in other states too!
She didn't look up the state she lives in FIRST to learn if it's illegal?! Of course she did, and then just disregarded it with horrible consequences.
This accident is so sad and tragic. My sincere condolences to the family, peers, friends and loved ones. RIP.
There is nothing "Tragic" about stupidity.
Also, COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE.
What the heck? Common sense? Apparently a doctor didn't have it, that's depressing.
Probably a DEI hire

Neither does your mom!
This being reported, should be a warning to others. This could be saving lives. Thank you 😌🙏🏽🌟🕊️
Yes, mine, im thinking of getting one. Im never leaving my son in there. Im very relaxed about safety measures but now im taking this seriously. Im a hiker and traveler. RIP Momma🪬
@@yoginikaltri333 You're very relaxed about safety measures? That's the one part you should be serious about 😄
It's a known fact not to ride in one being towed.
losing your momma is rough. my heart goes out to the family
Haha, funny stuff!
"she didn't have time to scream" sounds like she pushed her... Weird
@@Hiphopsessions he was driving a pickup truck. the victim and her daughters were being transported in the trailer in tow. did that not come across clearly?
@@ixpoison her mom tried to "close the door" and flew out and died. Sure that makes sense..... ( It doesn't make sense)
This is incredibly sad. I used to get so upset with my dad for not letting me sleep in our air stream on the way the way to vacations but I eventually grew to understand why. It doesn’t matter if you know you have a safe driver, because you can’t be sure that every other driver on the road is safe.
It's amazing people don't know this is so dangerous. God Bless the family.
Haha, funny stuff. We love it!
They do. They don't care.
Ugh this is so sad. They never should have been in there but placing blame isn't the point right now. This is so sad, I really hope other people who own these or travel with them learn to avoid this in the future. I'm so sorry to their family. This was such an awful accident
this is so sad. I feel so sorry for her.
Not me! Hahaha. Funny stuff!
Not only did they lack the common sense to not be in the trailer while its moving, but it also looks like they never locked the door either.
Why lock the door....it's pretty hard for someone to break in when it's moving at 65mph? So who needs to have the door locked?
@@Chugwater_CowboyI don't know if you're just blind or not really smart but exactly to avoid THIS
@@Chugwater_Cowboy Why lock the door? Hmm how about, so you don't go flying out at 65mph and end up splattering your brains all over the road?
@Chugwater_Cowboy yeah why lock your car doors, it's certainly not for the robbers on the highway.
@@Chugwater_Cowboy
Everyone who is dumb enough to ride in a moving trailer, and doesn't want to fall out onto the highway?
Yowza. Legal/not legal…it ain’t smart.
"But nobody told us riding in a trailer being towed down the road was not a good idea!"
My brain hurts at this level of stupidity.
Good comment!
Your level is much higher... how should it be any less safe than riding in the tow vehicle?
@@macbook802 Do I really need to explain to you the benefit of seat belts, airbags and crumple zones?
@@macbook802 you probably ride in towed campers.
@@joesmith6972 It's not even just that. The car is moving under control. The trailer not so much.
Even if they don't have room in the truck, bring another car anyway if this is why she rode in the airstream.
No, the daughter said they wanted to ride inside for the last 20 miles! That was the last 20 miles alright!

as if the eclipse was so important.
@@22lyric
Forgive me for laughing.
@@22lyricbroooooo
A gust of wind? This isn’t an airplane at 30,000 feet where the pressure sucks you out. She must have been messing with the door to get it closed or something. A small lane change and she could have went right out if it wasn’t latched properly.
Or someone pushed her? 🤔
@@Itsmehi456 I don’t have any reason to think the daughter would do it. My guess is the door wasn’t properly latched and mom was messing with it when she lost balance and stumbled out.
Of Course there was a gust of wind, they were going 65 MPH!!!!
@@Bardmusic66 She got up to try to CLOSE IT!!!
@@traybern exactly. Then she lost balance.
Gee….i WONDER WHY it’s illegal to ride in the trailer.
It's not in a lot of states.
This is terrible, *but this is EXACTLY why you're not supposed to ride in a trailer when it is being towed.*
Gosh I can see how that could happen, my heart goes out to her daughters and family.
So the door was not shut properly and locked. So tragic!!
Also I'm so sorry for your loss!
Sorry for your loss. But still, they should’ve listened to the rules to not stay in the Airstream while someone is driving.
It’s a tragedy, the loss of life, but even a bigger tragedy that they put themselves in this position. Why on earth would you want to ride in the airstream when a truck is much safer.
When I was traveling to NYC a few weeks ago, on the GWB, I noticed an airstream on the bridge and the door kept opening and it waa worst once on the i95, the lady had to get out multiple times from the pick up truck to close the door.
I’m so so sorry to hear of this tragedy. Praying for comfort and peace upon family and friends at this very difficult season 🙏🏻
Death is not a "season"
The daughter is very well collected considering she has just lost her mother in a freak accident! The last thing I would want to do is give a TV interview.
Agree, I would be a mess
My condolences to her family, friends, co-workers and patients. So many people will be affected by this! 😔💐
Its a tragic lesson to have to learn. I pray for the family to have peace and comfort.
Just because you're a Dr doesn't mean your smart.
Actually it does mean she is smart. Very smart in her field of study, but that doesn’t mean they know everything. 😂
Just because you comment doesn’t mean you can spell
Or, that doctors have common sense.
There's book smarts, then there's street smarts, or common sense.
@@lorettanericcio-bohlman567 Great response!
This is so tragic 😢 I am so very sorry for this family. 🙏🏾
There is nothing "Tragic" about stupid people doing stupid things.
@Chugwater_Cowboy Do you have nothing better to do than leave multiple negative comments? We get that it was a stupid decision but YOU should not be telling people how to feel about this incident. Please get a life 💀
@@LuShanna - It wasn't stupid. It was "really" stupid. No excuses. Not tragic, just stupid.
@LuShanna Evil heartless people will say evil heartless things. Nothing more to do than to pray for them and keep it pushing. Clearly, they did not get enough love as a child😒.
They assumed the risk. They knew that riding in the trailer was illegal in some states and thus dangerous.
How is the daughter able to even talk about it when it hasnt even been a day and it was so horrible??!
It happened last SATURDAY.
Maybe she didn't fall, but was pushed instead?
it literally makes no sense to me. "she havnt the time to scream" sorry i cant believe she fell out there quiet . the gust can be strong but lifting a grown up woman ? still believe there was a fight which end bad. or seh pushed her by accident and cant accept the guilt so she just made it up.
@@Cookieboy70don't turn everything in negative
@@emillanghorn1367it's because u need to be less negative in ur life.. there's many people who can't scream in such circumstances
That’s so sad. Sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.
Daughter seems really chilled about the incident. Acting as if her mom is Kenny from South Park and she'll be back in the next episode.
I'm sorry for your loss.
My dad heard about this on his car radio he felt bad for he poor woman and her family but he agreed this was very careless and not too bright you probably could get arrested if you ride in airstream while it's being towed by your car cause it's so dangerous. Well this family never saw the eclipse because of this not bright and reckless tragic accident.
getting a ticket, not getting arrested
How on earth do you not know this isn't safe at all!!???? So sad this tragedy could have been avoided.
Sucks that happened, but there is a reason why it's illegal to ride in a trailer.
Haha, funny story.
So sad she died from this. My condolences to the family. I wish trailers were safe to ride, but it can’t always be safe sadly. To those who have a trailer regardless of how big or small, please make sure to check the law on what it says based on if it’s legal or illegal to ride it while it’s in motion in your state you live in.
I would check the manufacturer not state law. I mean if you buy this exact airstreams, even if your state allows to travel in it, would you do it even the manufacturer says No?
@@hp4415 if it says to not ride on it, I wouldn’t do it. Safety is always my priority.
So if they were in a state where it was legal, then the accident would not have happened? Obviously the danger matters a lot more than the law... The law had zero effect in this case...
Not gonna lie, I didn’t even know this and I’m 24. Didn’t know what an ‘airstream’ was as well but now I know not to chill in one while on the road. Learned something new today, thanks Inside Edition 🙏
Absolutely tragic. Prayers and thoughts with the family.
I’m so sorry for this family!🙏🏻💕
rest in peace to that lady one tip never ride on a airstream while in motion
Here's a tip for you: Punctuation is FREE!!!! See??? Got it? Try it.
I wish this to no one, and hope the remaining family will be able to grieve and get better.
That being said, I will never understand people in the US on safety... why need reminders to use seatbelts ? Why ride in a trailer or a truck bed ?
And she was a medical Dr., presumably smart enough.... but as it turns out, not that much actually
How do people lack so BASIC common sense is beyond me
So sad my condolences to her family and friends.
The family sounds relieved.
RIP lovely lady 🙏🏻 ♥
Could it be murder? They knew it was dangerous but didnt latch it properly?
Agree. Something doesn’t add up here…
Odd that it wasnt latched properly as its the only thing they needed to get ‘right’
Sounds like the woman that died was the one to close the door.
Oh my. What a tragic accident😢. RIP to her and my condolences to her family and friends.
Sorry for your loss 🙏💔
Sorry for your loss. It's so sad when you hear stories like this ppl going on a nice relaxing vacation with their family only to have something like this happen . RIP
OH well....just like the tuition she had to pay for her medical school, the school of HARD KNOCKS has a cost as well. She just paid the bill.
@@Chugwater_Cowboy sur yes that's true what you have said but that quote is too soon don't you think or is it just me because it could just be me 🤔
So sorry
Very sad. We know better. It's not about being legal or not, it's common sense.
Condolences to the family and loved ones
I'm 53 year's old and I learned when I was about 10 or 12 that you CANNOT ride in a trailer that is attached to a vehicle while moving. It wasn't about searching various state laws. It was about safety and common sense. May she rest in peace and the family find peace with their decision. 💔
And you would have learned it a 3 if your family drove around with a trailer when you were 3. You evidently had smart--or even just average--parents.
@@highnrising Hard to believe that someone smart enough to become a doctor was too dumb to figure out that--if it is illegal in some states, then it is probably because it is dangerous...
@@highnrising 💯 🙋🏾♀️🙌🏾
@@pixie8653 I can't wrap my head around it either. 😳
Never ride in a trailer always ride in the vehicle towing it I grew up knowing that ..
This is so sad. I always thought it was common knowledge that it’s not safe to be in one while driving
It is but some people don’t listen
My heart is BROKEN God please give them comfort only YOU can … I can tell she was the best wife and mother ever my heart breaks to hear her daughters heart brake I am soo sorry
Very sad. It's often the wrong people that end up dying.
Obviously cause you're still around.
But not in this case.
Natural selection is still doing it's thing.
Rest in peace… praying for the family!
Never should have happened. A great loss to her family and her community. I thought everyone knew you weren't allowed to ride in these. My family camped so I knew since I was a kid that you can't ride when being towed.
I've known since I was younger than 10 years old that you're not supposed to ride in a pulled trailer or camper. By the daughter's own admission, she knew it was illegal in some places, yet they chose to do it anyway.
I can’t believe the daughter is already talking to media ..
Right and her voice is so nonchalant in the beginning.
Maybe she shoved mom out? 🤔
@@Itsmehi456that’s a good one

@@Itsmehi456well u people will turn everyone in criminals
I am so sad for your loss. A good mother is everything❤❤
Forget the door I would hate for the trailer to come off the hitch with people inside. RIP to that lady!
How could any intelligent human think that it's unsafe to ride inside a car--that has four heavy-duty wheels and airbags and antilock brakes--without being secured with a seat belt, but it's just fine to ride in a 2-wheel trailer that's clanging behind the car and bouncing and swaying along the road? Who cares if it's legal? It's not illegal to juggle chef's knives, either, but I would expect a pediatrician to be smart enough not to do that.
Bro it’s not a damn airplane depressurizing or anything, the wind couldn’t have been THAT strong. She really couldn’t think or react fast enough to grab something when she knew the door was already shaking? Zero survival instincts yo it’s crazy
She should have never been inside of it while it’s being towed. How do you buy something and not read the owners manual. While sad, this is 100 percent user error
try thinking for a second
Stop blaming her please, not everyone has all the information about everything, it happens, sometimes it turns fatal. Have you guys never done anything that could've been fatal. She's passed away. Have some respect for her pleaseee 😭😭😭😖😭😔💔
@@RaySmith-zg7od dude really… she was a physician. She’s expected to have a little more sense then your average person.
Probably got the idea from Lucy in the "Long, Long Trailer" episode or whatever it was called ...where Lucy is trying to cook a Meal while Desi is towing the Trailer ??! 🤷
If it’s illegal, it’s most likely because they want you safe
Sorry to hear that 😢😢
The fact that it is illegal in NY, but legal in other states should have been enough of a warning of the high risk of catastrophe.
Not really, NY does have some ridiculous laws
Rest in peace 😔
Sad. And weird buz as a kid in late 80s camping with families every yr, we all knew it was dangerous & u dont ride in em.
sad....rip dear doctor....God bless the family.
Rest In Heaven Monica . Hope her family gets peace and love from family and friends .😢
Trailers aren’t like motor homes
To be honest I don't think they're any safer. Seen too many videos of them just disintegrating in even relatively minor accidents.
Why? If you aren't wearing a seat belt in either...doesn't matter. Only difference is a motor up front. Anyone sitting in back isnt buckled in.
Even motorhomes aren't safe. The driver and passenger will be the first to arrive at the scene.
But the same applies to motor homes, you should not be sitting in the back while driving... Same risks...
Sorry for your loss. It is very sad, hope this is a lesson for others who view this video. Never ride anything moving without seatbelts.
Seatbelts on a motorcycle or bicycle? How bout a horse?
This is just tragic. She probably was an amazing doctor but a very stupid decision cost her her life. Very sad for all who knew her.
Condolences to the family.❤
It's Sad Thing to Hear, but, As Much As I Hate to Admit This, They were Right. They Gave a Warning and She Blew It Off Like It Was Nothing.
This is just common sense. Sad that this family didn't recognize the danger. Its just not safe to go highway speeds in a trailer on two wheels. So many things can go wrong, besides the wind. It doesn't even look steady or secure at highway speeds
Ooohh, so sad. Beautiful Lady gone too soon.
I feel so sorry for they're loss. 🙏🏾 My deepest condolences 💐
How awful. Sorry for your loss.
Haha, funny story.
My condolences
Did anyone ever see the movie by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz? The Long Long Trailer. There's a scene like this in it. He's driving and trying to make dinner. It doesn't go so well for her. But she doesn't fall out.
Very sad; does look inviting/fun to ride-in while driving. Although only two wheels supported by tow, doesn't seem much different than an RV to roam freely while operating without restraints.
Condolences to her family ❤
We had a camper when I was a kid and I always wanted to be in it when we drove where ever we were going. I was never allowed to. They do not have the same features as a car, so if someone crash in to it from what ever side, it is not even close to as safe as a car. I am amazed a Doctor didn´t realize that. But it is a extreme tragedy no matter what and I send my deepest condolences to the kids that had to witness their mom pass away like that. I hope you find peace.
Honestly, you'd think a doctor would be intelligent enough to know not to ride in one of those when it is being towed.
Her daugter seems pretty chill, for someone who just lost thier mother?? Why would they agree to an interview so soon?
100 percent sounds like AI
Well it's not like she is chill..it's more like they trying too..and also why they took interview of grieving family
People grieve differently. She's probably still in shock.
@@Ipetam And they media takes advantage of that.
Shock
Freak accident? Common sense here.
Crazy that you have to be told that
Very sad condolences to the family
geeze its best that you shouldnt be in a camper when its being towed if it dosent have seatbelts
And even seatbelts won't save you in a trailer that will fall apart in a collision!
Maybe along with the seatbelts, your "Camper" should also come equipped with a steering device and brakes.
