Porsche vs Tow Truck

Any one else ever see this? I'm guessing you have. But I just caught it on a crazy video caught on tape kinda show (not the one in the video though). First time I've seen it.

Wow, it looks like the 944 driver was going way too fast for conditions.

Years ago I was driving west to east on I-80 through Wyoming in a snow event...not a blizzard, not a dusting, but it was cold and there was snow on the road. I was in my trusty 1991 Tacoma.

I was amazed at the number of overturned cars or spun out cars on the eastern side of interstate overpasses, some of the flipped vans looked like they were holding, as the snowboard kids say, a yard sale.

What's interesting is the dog seemed to pick up on it before the tow driver.

Just before the tow truck brakes and starts to evade you can see the starting crouch and brace.

'nuff said. Their freeway onramps have gates, which are closed at times. Snow drifts in the high plains of Wyoming can be fifty feet deep. "Calm" means the wind is only 40 mph.
