This Toyota successfully crossed the east fork of the Carson River (at the hot springs) when going down stream. When he tried to cross again and go slightly upstream he got picked up and turned on the passenger side by the current and floated down the river a couple hundred feet. the tow strap could only be attached to the roof since the car was 90% underwater. This rescue attempt failed when the roof ripped off and the trucked rolled downstream. Driver was fine. he was not in the truck. 6.12.11

  • @leevp ....lol....yeah I guess they aren't very experienced with dealing with the force of rivers.

    That was one EXPENSIVE lesson!
