I'd say Jeep Grand Cherokee for the vehicle, no idea on the cow.

It is/was a small body style chevy blazer from the early 90's.
x2 on the Grand Cherokee. ZJ model, 93-95 judging by the wheels.
Loading the jeep on the trailer FAILED!
This is what it looks like when you fall asleep at the wheel
I was following this when it happen
just north of Pine a couple of years ago
The trees broke like tooth picks at first....

So what exactly was that truck/tralier doing stopped, trailer tailgate down ?? Maybe an American Funniest Video attempt gone really bad = like the driver expected to jump ove and land on four wheels and continue driving. Just too incidental the jumper directed the truck into the e-lane at the trailer and the camera car was filming the jump at just the right distance to catch it all on film. Add teh passenger going 'Go ... Go ...' just before the 'Holy bleep' started.
The only thing that makes me think it might be a real accident is the black Hyundai coming along on the inside lane,. but they may also have been filming, too. But there is that dark spot (red maybe) that looks like a body half way between the two wrecked vehicles (thrown from the jumper, or upper torso of the the stopped rig).
Sad part is it's probably real --- generally when distracted by cell phones or GPS or ... drivers do exactly what the video shows, they drive right into something they think they are following; even head on into oncoming cars.

White pine - soft wood -- in a doug fir forest you'd see the truck parked against the first tree. Here the firetruck only scratched the bark.

How fast were the vehicles above going? At 5 MPH scratching the bark would be all one would expect from any tree.
Looking at the damage of the van white pine is not that soft. Going 65 mph with the vans weight no tree has a chance.
Douglas Fir is roughly twice as strong shear wise as the average Pine... no matter; I wouldn't want to hit one at any speed - again. One bent a 4000 lb unibody car of mine in half rather than break, and it was only 12" in diameter, and the police thought I hit it in excess of 35 MPH, windshield was laying 300 feet away.
Do you really think the guy was trying to get the jeep up onto that trailer? Sort of makes sense until you see the speed he approached. Wow - glad I was NOT there to muck up the mess.

Something funny about those windows... armored? But why not have armored tires, too?
Great picture...

I wonder why it caught fire? Looks like factory approved mods.
But the instructions said he could wire his stereo in himself; easy, only a 1/0 wire pair from the battery to the 1000W amplifier in the trunk... who'd think a stereo wire needed a fuse, plus, the fuse and holder were about $75 on top the $200 amp, so he saved the money and trusted in hooka it'll all work well!
Or better yet he took it to some no name guys that can take of it for you without insurance.
You saved how much by paying cash
It only a problem when you have a problem - be careful using no name shops
I'm a no name shop ... I charge the other guy big bucks to save you money ! I even have a Centec VRM I paid $5.95 for at HF. It's really hi-tech, even tests transistors, man!!! Is that cool or what (err, 'cuze me, what does hFe mean?) ....
Too much fun.
Whats funny is we may not be too far off mark: the fire seemed to have started when the guy/gal was raising or lowering the soft top. I can see the wire pinching now.

Reminds me of the bent over old man who trashed one of those 100k houseboats on lake powell. We were in a cove. I was just a kid and it was when the lake was filling. All I remember is he tore every railing and broke every window at full forward/reverse in the trees while Dad and I found the honey hole for catfish.
Doesn't my garage look good?
