Drunk Driver Smashes Into Back of Tow Truck

 

 

A drunk driver smashed into the back end of a AAA tow truck that was assisting a motorist on the right shoulder of the 210 freeway in Los Angeles.

 

The tow truck was in the process of hooking a Volvo for a tow, when a drunk driver in a black Chevy Lumina drifted out of freeway lanes and clipped the Volvo, then plowed into the rear end of the tow truck. Another driver then hit the Lumina from behind. The DUI driver suffered moderate injuries in the crash, but was combative with the Good Samaritan motorists who tried to help him, prior to the arrival of authorities on scene.

 

LA City Fire Rescue Paramedics responded to the traffic accident crash scene and treated & transported the drunk driver to an area hospital. The tow truck and two cars sustained major damage in the crash impact. Listen the soundbites from the Good Samaritan who tried to help the drunk driver. And. the tow truck driver.
