goodmichael Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Terrible. It appears that the truck on the deck folded over the pylon into/onto the cab of wrecker. It appears to be set and in place at the tailboard of the deck. Horrific accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41Fletchers Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Wow. I assume the truck on the bed came forward and crushed the cab?! We all to often take the easy quick route. Unfortunately that is not the safe way to tow with a carrier. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the drivers family Quote Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodmichael Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I do not think the truck, casualty, came loose. It looks like the impact crumpled the cab and chassis forcing it under the deck bed. The casualty looks secured at the tailboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
