Re: The Luckiest Tow Truck Driver
11:14pm UK, Monday April 02, 2012 His lorry did not have the right winter tread tires and was stuck on an icy road. The tow truck driver opened his door as the lorry tipped over. It was being towed off the mountain pass north of Oslo by a large rescue tow truck when the accident occurred.The lorry slid off the road and dragged the tow truck with it. The lorry driver was struggling to steer his vehicle as it slid on ice and sideswiped a guard rail. Moments later, both vehicles crashed through the fence and plunged down the cliff. The driver of the tow truck managed to jump clear after he sensed the towed lorry was sliding out of control.The tow truck driver jumped clear of his vehicle before it was too late. The vehicles rolled multiple times in the accident near Leirfjord, around 560 miles from the capital. Remarkably, the driver of the stranded truck is in stable condition in hospital - he suffered several bone fractures in the accident. |
