RCMP investigating shocking video of RV swerving on Coquihalla Highway

RCMP are investigating a shocking incident on a B.C. highway caught on camera.

Video circulating on social media shows an RV swerving in traffic on the Coquihalla Highway, colliding with traffic signs and cones.

The vehicle can be seen narrowly avoiding a rear-end collision with a tractor trailer and an oversized load, and at one point striking a roadside barrier, knocking its awning loose.
