They were going way too fast...ouch!

Actually, they had the ignition off and you notice that on the left turn, the steering wheel locked.

Wow , I do not know how much more stupider you can get....unless there is a bylaw that states you can't park on the side of the streets.

your not supposed to park over night on any residential streets, bylaw. but that doesn't give anyone a reason to hit your car...

i don't know about you guys, but i find the guy with the camera to be more amusing than the actual towing. he keeps talking to them...but i don't think anyone can hear this guy XD aaaand i'm pretty sure he's in that room by himself

How is it even possible for a truck to be THAT damaged?

How is it even possible for a truck to be THAT damaged?

* hooked up the cable to the wrong spot
* too much torque on the winch motor
* front of the truck (the part in the lake) was free to move up
* rear of truck was wedge against the snow and wouldn't move
* frame ends up bending

Wow. I didn't think a winch would have the strength (and the tractor would have the grip) to fold a frame like that. Impressive.
