Road Rage!

On Sunday I got a wrecker call about 8:30 Pm from one of our good customers. She proceeded to say that her husband got into an accident on I-90 heading eastbound on mile marker four. I quick jumped into the tow truck and headed to the scene. When I arrived there were three cop cars and about three cars on the side of the road. I could not find the vehicle I was looking for, out of the corner of my eye I saw a truck in the median and that was the vehicle I was looking for. At first glance the truck did not look all that bad I though I might even be able to drive it out of the ditch. I got in the vehicle and tried to start it but nothing happened. I then pulled the winch cable out, hooked on, and pulled it up on the flat bed while cars were zooming by. When I got the truck on the flatbed I soon figure out the damage was worse than I thought. The truck was leaking anti freeze and transmission fluid and the frame was twisted. I brought the vehicle back to our impound and it was then that I figured out what happen. The owner of the vehicle was very upset but more or less at himself. He proceeded to tell me that he was coming home from Minnesota on I-90 when two vehicle entered off of Highway 35. He said the vehicles were traveling at a slow rate of speed and cut him off. He then passed one car and jerked his vehicle at the second one to show them he was mad. What happened next he said wasn't supposed to happen. His vehicle began to slide back and forth like it was on ice until he lost control and plowed into the car next to him. Taking out himself and both other cars sending him into the side of the bridge bouncing off back across the highway into the median. The driver of the vehicle did received a ticket, but I didn't ask him why but I think we all can figure it out. To top the story off he just bought this vehicle less that 4 months ago for $8000 and only had liability insurance. None of the drivers were hurt just one lost his ego.
