Tow Truck Mishap @ ROLLOVER ACCIDENT ON LAKE SHORE DRIVE-CHICAGO,IL

[fightluvr]

What an idiot.

[code3recovery]

The owner of that company should've been drug tested as well as this driver. What an embarrassing thing to see.

[101leger]

I drive a rollback. Doing these kinds of recovery all the time. Use the truck the way it was made to do.

[weiserbud67]

get the winch out, hook it onto the car, and it`ll pull it bak over onto its wheels easily...stop wasting time and fucking around....do this shit while you're not working and at home, not when ur at the job holding up trafic and keeping the emergency crews on scene LONGER than they actually need to be .....all because of a towtruck being to lazy to run the winch out and wants to do a show off with the wheellift!!

[weiserbud67]

the driver of the towtruck might as well use the lift to crush the car too while he's at it....dumbass towtruck driver!!!

[JOHOROCKS1]

Get ur fat ass out of the truck...ur a disgrace

[TheKingtow]

You have no clue. You moron. From Bobby in Pawtucket R.I

[cieranc]

I still don't get it. There's thousands of these type of video's on Utube showing tow truck drivers abusing their equipment to do a job. Why don't any of them use their winch, to carry out a CONTROLLED rollover? Instead of trying their luck, damaging their own vehicles and causing further damage to the casualty vehicle? It would have been quicker to have winched it, the way it should be done properly. If one of our drivers did this, they'd be straight out the door.

[kingb1808]

In ri wen u get a police tow u have a flatbead. Saves a lot of time

[erikals2]

For some reason whenever I see the towie I think of the dickhead song by Miles Betterman

[repor6]

THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN EVERYONE DRIVE TRIPLE THE SPEED LIMIT

[s0kaldaddy]

Its not the fact thats its totaled its the fact of doing it right.. you are fucking retard as well if you dont know about saftey you dumb fuck..

[sommer1477]

IDIOT ALERT! Thanks Camara man for catching this idiot on film...LOL I wonder if his boss saw this...LOL I saw one comment here saying he does this too....LOL

[ZX2ManDave]

What does it matter how he flipped it back over, the car was already 100% destroyed.

[Diamonddave713]

Note to public.. Not all wrecker operators are this dumb and lazy. This steering wheel holder must be a city or state employee because no wrecker company would let this fool drive for them, Where as a city/state employee has job security and little to no risk of being fired for incompetence. He probably could have drug it sliding on it's roof all the way to the yard and got a pat on the back for clearing the road in a timely fashion..

[cat320exv]

I say to all of you, If your not in the biz then shut your mouth, so he didnt flop it over the first time big deal, and IT"S A WERCK insurance will total the car you jag off's. I hate nothing more then neck flappers, if you were broke down you'd be sucking his dick for service.

[bluenlu11]

this dude is a moron stop being lazy and hook a cable to it

[bigj21178]

What a fool hope that wasn't a company truck

[el1rara]

i drive a AAA tow truck that guy is ann idiot he dont know what hes doing jackass...

[s0kaldaddy]

The camera guy is stupid cuz wtf is the point on filming the wood or the rail or the trucks leaving.. N the driver is a dumb fucking moron. Cant get his fat lasy ass out the truck n do the job right.. That is why shit breaks on trucks because of dipshits like him...

[towbotsilverstar]

Come on, give the tow truck driver a break. He didn't want to get out of his truck because he heard it was a bad neighbourhood...

[robert3302]

@towbotsilverstar It's Lake Shore Drive. $2,000 a month for a studio, $300,000+ for a condo. Not anybody's idea of a "bad neighborhood".

[tanoeda]

oh i pitty the idiot



[djstowing]

can you say FIRED!!



[s0kaldaddy]

That guy is fucking stupid. As well as the camera guy..

[7089540230]

@s0kaldaddy

Oh Yea? Why The Fuck is The Camera Guy Stupid? You Seem to be The Dipshit for watching This!

[broham776]

@7089540230 i wouldnt get too upset the internet is full of trolls

[pastorgeorgem]

@s0kaldaddy FYI I believe Yer The Idiot mate Todd is the Best stringer by far good vids

[pastorgeorgem]

 WHY Debate this the car is totaled now anyways who cares how he flips it back on its wheels

[alexander1485]

@s0kaldaddy the driver is fucking stupid as well, don't forget them.

[dmaxdiesel4x4]

Attention people : winches are not just for looks!!

[popacap29]

I drive wrecker and watching this vid is hard for me...I cant help calling this driver an Idiot...anyone can drive, but it takes skill to operate. One 8 ft chain and a cable and maybe the driver would have been out of there in about five minutes...And by the way I will have fries with that please.

[Prangtech]

Very unsafe. That operator should be rolled over as well

[harleysrule03]

Seriously?? Plain lazy!! If I ever caught one of my employees doing that, they would be fired on the spot and walking home!!

[manddauto1]

holy shit!!! if my boss ever caught me doin that i would be fired on the spot!!! not to mention how much extra time that takes... hook up some chains!!!

[dheinbaughsrt]

what a fucking idiot!!! how stupid can you be??? go flip some burgers if you cant even do that.

[Arment24]

I couldn't watch this entire thing...what kind of IDIOT would use a stinger toflip a car? THATS just being lazy and being THAT lazy means he'd be looking for another line of work!!

[nostroke10]

What a stupid ass, completely lazy!

[krazer41510]

hahaha....what an idiot...why not do a regular roll over?? he's probably just practicing..he thought about this and now he's doing it foreal...but, it's not working..lol.. Hey peoples!!... if you're on facebook... look for a page called "im proud to be a tow trucker!"....and like it...

[hgary1965]

DUMBASS!!! ~  Hey dipshit they put chains and wire rope on those trucks for a reason!

[The1200sportster]

what a dickhead 

[gstanz67]

tOOk longer....harder on equipment, hard on PUBLIC funded roadways,as stupid as he was the car was probably in neutral and rolled of the freeway causing another accident. Thats why the video cut short. Use your cables and that wont happen.This moron is working the drive thru at your local Burger King by now.....trust me.

[7089540230]

@gstanz67

the video cut short cause i couldnt watch it anymore....i wanted to bang on that guys window and say what the fuck are you doing?

[shnrbtlle18]

You are an idiot!!!!!!!!! plain and simple.

[towwman]

what a fuckin idiot!

[codeywoods111]

the tow truck did not evin un roll the car the right way u have to put the chain on and fsafly un flip it

[7089540230]

@codeywoods111

Thats Why IT is Title Mishap Thanks For Watching

[english5050]

Only a state or city owned tow guy would be so lazy...I guess its a required to be lazy once you work for the government.

[mrjagoff]

That isn't a state tow it's a city tow truck (Chicago dot)

[GordyMariFilms]

If the towing operator would have uprighted the vehicle without an issue you all would be in awe. I have been towing for over 25 years and use this method from time to time. A couple rules to live by while towing: Never let a fireman suggest anything during a recovery and a stringer has no say at all.

[7089540230]

@GordyMariFilms

I totally Disagree...This Operator also tows booted cars for the city & does many other tows...I would not want this dipshit towing my car if he cant figure out how to upright one the right way...would you allow this person to tow for you after being in the biz for 25 years and not be worried more cars would get fucked up...Im a stringer and dam right i have a say so bro!

[adam3251]

@7089540230 What is a stringer?

[7089540230]

@adam3251

full time photographer

[ModeraterX]

@GordyMariFilms I'd have to agree with you for the most part.. I'm only 20 and have been towing since the age of 12.. (Not driving but towing) And now work for The top towing company in Philadelphia.. I'm also a firefighter. I'm not a huge fan of firefighters or police telling me how to do my job.. Especially if my method did not work with my first move i make, everyone seems to jump in and try and tell me how to do it. Using the wheel lift to flip over a car in a total loss is time effiecent

[thedssdoctor]

ETM299 that was the how not to recover a vehicle I have never seen that done before and there is a reason.

[BADtow1970]

verry lazy and unprofessional!! prime example of why experiance is better than just passing the civil service test! and just think the state pays this rookie a six figue income for this!!!!

[towmandave00]

LOL...dont go to work when your drunk....dumb ass ;-)

[ckost23]

everyone on here seems to be worried about him causing more damage to the car but what i have to wonder is how much damage he did to his truck at 3:40 when the car slamed into the side of his truck, bone head move, i would have had it fliped maybe not to much sooner but looking alot better and safer by just using some chains and a winch

[BIGORANGEHUNTER]

Coulda fliped it with bar first time if he woulda run it down under the passenger side cant even flip a car when doing it horribly.

[cardinalhockey1]

one word....WOW! Where did this guy learn to flip a car over? I have worked in the towing and recovery busness for 3 years and everyone knows to use your winch line to flip a car. Use your 8-10 foot J hook chain and hook one end into the T slot on the car and the J hook end to the control arm and pull from the side you want the car to roll! It's not hard at all to flip a car back on its wheels!

[SplitSecondTowing]

a liitle education prior to accepting the job as a driver would have helped this guy...........

[dalac87]

man some one needs to know how to us some winches on that tow truck thats y they have them FOR ROLL OVERS U PUT A BAD NAME FOR TOW TRUCK DRIVERS IN THE WORLD

[dalac87]

man some one needs to know how to us some winches on that tow truck thats y they have them FOR ROLL OVERS

[chevyc10man]

gotta say that was sad to watch if he had winch cable why didnt he use them yea the boom is nice to use but not like that. He must be new to Snatchtrucks. im my self is a wrecker driver and repo man i use both trucks Snatch and Rollbacks trucks and its all USE your Head shit

[80jass]

dumb ass lazy drv

[broham776]

thats called chicao streets and sanitation and they dont give a shit what they do to cars!!

[MultiMonster69]

get out of your truck roll the dam thing over like a professional that is getting paid to do this. i mean if the cops and other ems can get out and probably did stuff there for an hour im guessing you can too and there job can be a lot mor demanding than yours

[robtakers]

Rookie !! This Idiot has no Vehicle Recovery Skills...

[carolinaincanada]

I'm a woman tow truck driver and I've done recoveries as well!! This is no excuse lol seriously the car was scrap anyway but to make my company look this bad by laziness?? Unacceptable!! Lol boy and they say ladies are bad drivers.. Ha!

[truckerjay1]

that is about the dumbest idiot i've ever seen not to mention lazy. the time he took "playing" with the car with the wheel lift he could have pulled both cables out and had it on it's wheels and on dollies and gone. he will probably come down here to florida next with the stupid s*** i have seen tow trucks do down here

[edbartunek]

Probably related to the mayor or an aldermen. No talent, no experience, no training needed, just respond to the whispered question "who sent you?".

[dennismlns]

Having driven a tow truck, I know that there is NO POSSABLE WAY that will work.

[fallstow1]

did you see the driver was black.. that's why kyle that's why ..

[master120344]

lol

[brierejoe]

What an absolute moron! Must have gotten called out right after going to bed and forgot to throw his clothes on before heading out and didn't want anyone to see him. I've never seen someone so lazy and unprofessional.

[integgy95]

The car was probably totalled anyway but still.. Any idiot would know you DONT right a car like that.. Moron tow truck driver..

[strobindotcom]

That's a city tow truck, they aren't trained for that, they are meant for hooking illegally parked cars. It's the private companies that take the time to do it properly

[BadToy31]

Jack ASS

[JJ48524]

Lazy ass shoulda just hooked up the damn cables like a normal person.

[weiserbud67]

the tow truck driver`s a fucking retard, he doesn`t have enuff knowledge on how to flip a car over properly for the best of my knowledge!!!!

[edgeofvamp]

He is lucky the insurance company didn't see him doing that, from what i understand, if the tow company wrecks a car further, the insurance company makes them pay for it.

[Cubichi27]

wow wat a dumbass that's why you have winch cables , that's wat you call a lazy driver, re-take your rollover classes you dumb shit

[s1smith40]

This is exactly why the wireless roll over is an extremely unsafe move. Opperator has no control over the casulty. I hope officers and fire recognize this on scene and kick the tower off the job. We are way better trained then this. See ya in the ditch.

[chase1053]

If he had to pay for damages, or owned his own equipment he wouldn't be such an ass.

[kkw773]

@chase1053 it's already totaled. who gives a shit about further damages

[kkw773]

@chase1053 it's already totaled. who gives a shit about further damages

[mutt300]

@chase1053 the car is already totaled there is no point on babying the car.. its just going to be crushed anyways

[cieranc]

@mutt300 But the goal for any professional towing company is to recover the vehicle 'damage free'. That means not causing any further damage than has already been done. Sure, it's not going back on the road, but it's worth more to a salvage yard the less damage is on it. That means the insurance company get more for it, the claim is less, the guys premium isn't hiked up as much, it's all a knock on effect. Doing the job properly costs nothing. Doing it like in this vid costs your reputation.

[timandtina100]

this guy is an idiot , he should just take his cables hook it to the suspension and flip it ,lazy ass people

[piglett2195]

it's already junk winch er on the rollback & head 2 the shop already

[Ronin2180]

Like someone else already said, an operator doesn't want to damage the vehicle more than what's already done! Even if you think it's a "total loss". Not your job to decide that.

[pepemandarria]

and this burger king worker...is so lazy ...hi have a boom...hook an drag..thas it

[pepemandarria]

this guy is a totaly idiot.....he have a light duty....now he have to pay the damage in his truck...

[crazyelliot6969]

OMG well im lost for words ive towed cars & trucks for over 20yrs & ive never seen anything like it.

It only takes one person to make the rest of us look bad.......................

[towit4u2]

and to think this is a idot worker!!

[Ronin2180]

This is NOT an IDOT employee or a Minuteman! This is a City of Chicago Traffic Management Authority truck and they/most have no expierence with a tow truck!

[mrrodneyalong]

Please find someone whoknows what hes doing and learn from them. with the time u spent pushing this car around you could have hooked it up and winched it over. Every one there was thinking this guy has no idea what hes doing.

[dek3383]

what an idiot. as a tower we never try to damage any car more than already done. even its a total loss. might have salvage value. this guy is absurd for his half ass ways. try wreckmaster might teach him something

[stevo20021975]

what a fucking moron!!!

[llm28]

wat a lazy cocksucker hook up ur chains and flip it properly

[alonzojr009]

dumbass aint the word for what this dumb nigger was doin

[towcop1]

He is a dumbass but you need to watch it with the racial slurs. toatally innappropriate.

[gtspeed927]

the tow truck driver was dumb for trying to flip the car like that, but i would more than love to meet you under that 51st bridge to teach you how to correctly say and spell the "N" word... very anxious... please let me know. thanks in advance...

[alonzojr009]

shit anytime ese dont be anxious it is what it is im hear to teach u ese

[lildawgtow]

what a DUMBASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[metroII]

i dont have a tow truck or flatbed but damn. Stupid

[coloradotower]

LMFAO!!!!!! (in colorado) pulling unsafe and stupid shit like that would get us kicked from rotation,,,,I would loose my job and prolly get punched in the mouth by my boss for disgracing the company name...What did he think the car would really not slide and just roll right the hell over? I hope chicago has better towers than this!!! Come to the rocky mountains and learn what recovery is

[7089540230]

Here in Chicago,the Guy Operating the Tow Truck probably got a Promotion after This happened

[towman72gmc]

@coloradotower thats a state owned tow truck. He doesn't care. The cops wont complain and even if they do his union will back him.

[rb16sk8]

@coloradotower Here in Mass I am pretty sure I would be losing my job. Guys like this give us a bad name.

[cfred841]

Ha what a retard he should be fired. I could have fliped it over faster with my flatbed and with way less damage

[avery0831]

I drive a flatbed in Toronto,Ontario and I was thinking the exact same thing,What a champ that guy was.

[karkraz]

Should have called O'Hare.

[7089540230]

lol...why for a $500.00 tow bill?

[ProudAmerican661]

Fired fired fired. Who in the hell would even let this jackass drive a tow truck. Is this how its done in chicago???

[SetsunaTheAngel]

Okay, What would YOU Do. Thats the most efficient way to flip a car. And before you whip out the chains,nothing on the undercarrage is guarenteed to survive the flip.

[blondejoker0316]

The most efficient way to flip a car?! Are you high? Look, I work for a tow company and I remember them stressing never mess up the truck, it's our face to the public. I would have remembered "use the truck as a battering ram" training day. Dumb ass.

[SetsunaTheAngel]

And you would push it down the street,not flip it. Watch the video again

[B789c]

but sure the guy was there pissing around.when the car was on its side 3 men cud have easly pushed it onto its wheels

[jerseytow]

are you retarded? you are very confused i think. thats the most uncotrolled, reckless, and just plain stupid way to upright a car.

[nikink420]

This operator is a disgrace to the towing community and should be removed from his job until proper training and certification takes place. does anyone know what company this guy works for or does he work for like the State DOT??

[7089540230]

Thanks for Commenting

The Towing Company is actually called

CDOT Chicago Dept. Of Transportation

and i agree with you 100%.if that was my car,i would be very upset!

[TheNameIsBEATTIE]

@7089540230 If you owned that car, you would be feeling a right D**k, for writing off your car, and all you can do with it now is scrap it.

[alderaforall]

@7089540230 you would be upset at what the tow truck driver did? Really? Because the car wasn't completely torn to shit from your stupid ass slamming into the median and flipping it over. The car was a loss before the tow driver ever touched it. Could the tow driver gone at it in a better way? Sure, but the only person to be upset at would be the car driver for parking it upside down to begin with.

[DTMRM8]

@7089540230 What would you be upset about? The car is totaled...

[7089540230]

@DTMRM8

Because its unprofessional....Thats Why I Would Be Upset

I watched This Tow...If he Cant Flip This Car Properly...Who Knows if he or She Can Properly Tie down & Actually Tow a Car Without Damaging one That Has Not Been In An Accident...They Do Alot More Tows Than Just Accidents..

This Is a Joke...It Does Not Matter if The Car is Totalled at all...Watch it Again

Would you Want this Guy Towing your Car From An Illegal Parking Spot?

[DTMRM8]

@7089540230 I simply do not park illegally and never have to worry about it. He was attempting a faster flip technique which I have seen work wonderfully myself at several roll-over accidents. He fucked it up big time but it can work.

Also why do you capitalize the first letter of each word?

[ETM299]

@7089540230 aparently you dont know how hard it is to flip a car over. if u have done it before you would realize he was doing it right, this is good if u only have 1 truck on call

[7089540230]

@ETM299

I think i have an idea whats involved....been to over 3,000 auto accidents

many of them are not posted on here...seen alot of things rolled over in my days

[IGOTYOURCAR]

@ETM299 can you remind me where in any manual that was right you should of usr a stiff leg you would of uprighted asap

[IGOTYOURCAR]

@ETM299 can you remind me where in any manual that was right you should of used a stiff leg you would of uprighted asap

[h0llyw0odwh0r3]

Wooooow. He could not have wasted anymore time! Chain that bitch up and drive forwards!

[bubbaj1983]

Alright, throw that thing in the can and break out a Holmes!

[towtkguy]

One Word for this Idiot!!!!!

WRECKMASTER

[11tones]

that was not cool people having car accident and they DRIVE drug not cool

[B789c]

7 ur a fucking retard stop posting dis shit on the internet

[jimbodei]

there is nothing more satisfying then watching someone totally screwing up when they are trying to look sooo cool!

[towgal]

after all that I figure he ended up where he started except now he gets to flip it into traffic lane!! HELLO MCFLY!!!

[doobiedoou]

what a lazy twat i hope he got given the sack. he's got a over boom on his truck and was to damm thick to get out n flip that in under a minute ... or was he not trained to be in that wrecker??

[mike82871]

This guy should have used the winch!!!

[cwazmann1]

What a fucking idiot...lol...lol!!! That's coming out of his paycheck!!! Get a pro not some dumb amatuer, sheesh! Can't even flip the car thr right way. I agree with hollywoodsix, call o'hare towing, shit they know what to do in seconds!

[outlawracer2229]

Whoever is running that wrecker is a complete idiot!!!!

[LADDERTRUCK53]

nwhen the tow truck is fliping the car over you can see the engine going by

[brkygg]

that why when you drive you have to drive for other not only for youself but other that what think how car accident happing

[jmar0015]

certified RETARD!!!..

[qputas]

i fly down that road, never see anything like that.

[RoyChicago]

Tow truck driver really didn't know what he was doing. Im not a tow truck driver but I could have done a better job with my forklift.

[hollywoodsix]

do anyone watch that show on Speed called Wrecked Life in the Crash Lane,they should have called O'Hare Towing they know what they are doing unlike this person

[pezz02]

What the hell was he thinking!!!

[7089540230]

lol..that he needs to take a "uprighting" class

[mrnice24us]

omg, no wonder people thing bad of towing operators. Look at this jackass that thinks he knows what hes doing. What an idiot!!

[7089540230]

Imagine what they do if they tow your car for illegal parking..These are the same guys that do that for City Of Chicago..Thats scary

[F350DieselFord]

thats a weird way to upright a car. i been towing for a while never seen that chains would have been faster. plus looks like it hit the truck

[tvbykris]

when ya have in cab controls this is one of the easiest ways. this clown just didnt do it right.

he works for the city and is trying to do what us guys who work for the state do.

he needed to get under it w/the stinger and lift it a 2nd time...

or get the chains out.

what a bozo, huh?

[IQ136]

What is/was their condition?

[7089540230]

all medical conditions are unknown if not stated in the details..Thanks

[IQ136]

Thank you. I wish that everyone in every wreck comes out okay from now on and retroactively to the beginning of motorized travel with Cugnot's Steamer (1770?). Maybe that is not realistic yet I wish this just the same. Vehicles can be made much safer than they are. Cost/price should not go up either.

[7089540230]

i think we all wish that ther would be no accidents....im still trying to get my delorean up to 88mph so i can get a quick reality check

[Ronin2180]

Get the fuck out and do it right!!!!! I know you're a city employee but common!!!!

[tvbykris]

thats why ya dont try to flip a car w/the stinger.

[7089540230]

I gave up & left..it was to long

[coop12374]

How long did it take for the tow to get that car flipped back over?
