It does look like the round weight distribution bars swung in reverse under (over being upside down) the bumper.

A lift kit if that is the case being installed likely a factor indeed.

I have no knowledge or skills on these things though so defer to your judgement on it!

The van is a 1 ton Ford E350 Econoline though so should be rated to handle the trailer tow/weight load I would have thought. Again I defer to your knowledge, skills and experience though.

The injuries were fortunately not life threatening according to the article which is fortunate for those involved!
