Default Wow, talk about bizarre accidents

This poor guy was having his car towed, and, while riding behind the tow truck, saw the car fall off the flatbed! I'm sure that is going to be a pain to get taken care of!

I can't imagine having to watch such a thing happen! I'd call that adding insult to injury, or something. What a mess! Hope the tow truck dude had to pay for the damage!

Holy cow! That would have to be worst case scenario wouldn't it? I sure hope that the towing company is going to take care of any damages.

Ouch! So that would be the fault of the towing company. They would have to pay to get that fixed - not the guy! Man that stinks though! I can't imagine watching my vehicle fall off a flatbed!

Man, I would hate to be the tow truck driver...something tells me that if he doesn't own the company, he won't be with them too much longer!

The only think worse, I think, would be to be driving behind the tow vehicle with a friend or something and to have your car fall off and go onto the car your in, you know?

Wow, that's terrible. It's obviously the tow-truck driver's fault. I am curious if it is something your insurance company would cover (in case the towing company wouldn't pay for the damage).

It seems to me that it should be covered under insurance, somehow. Although, that might depend on what sort of policy you hold on the vehicle.

Well, maybe he will get a whole new car out of the deal, which shouldn't be a bad thing, after all. Still, it would be shocking to ride behind a tow truck and see something like that!

Sounds like a court case in the making to me, and a brand new car around the holidays (if you are not paying for it) can not be the worst thing that has happened to this guy. I hate dealing with flatbeds, even on the road near me when I am driving. I always worry about that!
