Well … that blows.
Wonder if the tow truck was headed to extract the loaded propane truck that’s stuck on Dutyville road.
Let’s hope that doesn’t blow …
Narrow curvy road, left front damage on both vehicles… gee, what could have happened?
Haha.
I usually receive damage to the right tires on that road. Go figure.
Funny how tow truck drivers own the road. They all drive like teenagers. I had one tell me he had more authority than CHP on the road.
I have yet to meet a tow truck driver that thinks they own the road. Most all are excellent drivers and I am sure can outdrive you Dumboldt. Good luck getting a tow from Buddy’s Service.
The biggest vehicle always gets the right of way.
Size matters
True that! I sure don’t challenge the big trucks. They have enough to stress about as it is.
