Ron, thanks for uploading this video. My Dad is a volunteer firefighter and I have always sort of known how bad accidents can be and that first responds have to deal with incidents such as this one often. However, when the trooper said there may be someone under the car my stomach dropped. I realized that you have to set aside any emotions that you feel in order to do your job. I thank you for the work that you and your team do. I appreciate your decision to share this experience with us so that we can get a very small glimpse into what you have to deal with sometimes. Stay strong and God Bless you and your family.

Growing up in the 50's, my Dad was a Volunteer Fireman. And as you, my heart stopped when said there might be a body. I just prayed and prayed there wasn't .. even tho it was an older video .. And so relieved. God saved that driver's life my putting in that tree. And I hope he is doing okay. The neighbours were very caring as well.

I am relatively sure that in the United States, just like in Germany, there is even the slightest suspicion that a person could still be in the vehicle, the rescue is the responsibility of the fire brigade. No tow truck will be allowed on a vehicle as long as there is a human body in the vehicle, even if it is only suspected. Such a remark is of course good for the dramaturgy, but in no way corresponds to reality.

@@sknorr1 In Missouri, where Ron is at, tow trucks are considered emergency vehicles and at times help with extrication. Ron and his team are train with the fire department in extrication and rescue. That said, I'm fairly certain that if there was good reason to believe someone was under there the fire department would have been on scene and Ron would have been told to "expedite", which would allow him to run red and blue lights and siren like an emergency vehicle (a law that's unique to Missouri I'm fairly certain), so he could get there quicker so he could assist.

This reminded me of a time way back when. I responded to a wreck at an industrial park that had a 1/2 mile straight away where kids marked a 1/4 mile section for drag racing. One snowy night a chevy pick-up lost control and ended up over 200' off the road flipped over. I had to run the cable from the road. the driver was found next to the truck and survived. After police & fire left the scene I was hooking up when I thought I heard a groan deep into the woods. Turns out it was a passenger and by the time I found him he was almost covered in snow another 100' from the wreck site! I got on the radio to request fire back on the scene, he survived also. If my wrecker was any closer the engine noise would have prevented me from hearing that groan, he was one lucky dude!

As one who has actually witnessed a number of fatal wrecks, or come across them right after happening, and even seeing a suicide jump from 8 stories... I'm more than glad to not see it on youtube. I would be OK with seeing just the wreck after the casualties are removed, but the reality of grizzled injury and death sticks with you. There is no need for any of that in the media. I deeply feel for the first responders that have to deal with it on a regular basis.

While I agree about such things being common You Tube or other media, I do see the value in people seeing the results of reckless behaviors. As sad of a commentary as it is, there is nothing quite like seeing something that shocks the senses to make people think twice before engaging in dangerous behaviors.

I can still remember him as I found him almost 40 years ago.

seeing a video like this for a change reminds us that in your job it is not always only metal that got bent and plastic that got broken, but there is the human aspect of people who got hurt or worse during these incidents that you have to clean up. It shows us that while it is interesting for us to watch you pull cables, rig and lift things, you and your crew and tow truck drivers across the country have to deal with the emotional baggage that comes with this job. Every crash impacts human lives, some more, some less and tow truck drivers get them on a daily basis.

Such as this one time my family's mailbox was obliterated by a pickup losing control (and ran). For some reason an ambulance rolled past our 'scene' if you can even call it that while a local deputy was filing a report.

The first thing I thought after seeing that your wife made the trip on this call is "Thank the Lord she was there that day." I know that you said in the video description that there were no fatalities and that you never post any footage that might have them, but right there in the moment, neither you, your wife or the officers knew that for sure. We're all human and, during times like this, it makes all the difference in the world when you have someone right there with you for support - and there's nobody much better on earth than your significant other. I couldn't even begin to imagine what I'd do if I were in your shoes, alone, with calls coming in while there's, by all indications at first sight, an extremely grave situation right in front of you that takes complete focus where every single ticking second could mean the difference between life and death.

I've been on many calls just like this one. Being from a town of 900 and being on the local EMS and Fire Dept. most of the calls are local and people we know personally. I was on a call very similar to this one many years ago. I was a summer night around 10pm. 4 teens had been to a party and were speeding 100mph on a 35mph road. They came up over the hill in the roadway, on a curve, lost control and went airborne. Wedged the car 5 feet off the ground between 2 pine trees. My patient was ejected and landed in the middle of the road. The driver who was only 14 died at the hospital and the 2 girls in the backseat had multiple traumas. Medflight was unable to fly and we are 40 minutes from the nearest trauma. Talk about holding in your emotions. It was hard, because we knew the driver wasn't going to make it. His dad was a local businessman whom we all knew. It was really hard. I still remember that night as plain as day. I pray the driver of this Firebird is doing better.

Thanks for the mid-week treat Ron. Not one of the hardest wrecks you ever showed from a technical standpoint, but sure made it easy to determine it was a total loss. Driver was lucky to survive. Our FD was called out on a Saturday afternoon wreck back in the early 70's. Corvette convertible with 4 (yes FOUR) reported occupants lost it on a wet road, climbed at telephone pole support wire and wound up flipped in the corn field. After hunting for number 4 for about an hour, we found out she had gotten mad at the way he was driving and was sitting in a bar about 2 miles down the road. Lucky girl.

Watching this video brings back memories of a roll over I did when I was towing. basically same incident but it was 12 am and my truck was broke I got a call from one of my coworkers he needed help to roll over. the vehicle it rolled right over but took us almost 30 minutes to clean up and of course I didn't have my cloves so the fire department gave me some cause of the blood and other stuff I didn't want to say on here that was everywhere in the car. I miss towing sometimes but alot of times I don't I like watching ur videos thank u for sharing them

Ron, you set the standard for the quality of your work - a true Professional but more importantly for your faith and care for those unfortunate people that need your help. Keep it up even in the most difficult situations. Compared to UK, your roads seem almost quiet but we are a small country without the wide open spaces of the USA.
