    I don't get it, who was going 90 miles an hour, if a truck could even do that today. Be advised, all these recovery clips are scripted, and I don't believe a one.

    I agree, and I actually could have cared less about their commentary, but I was interested in how a wreck like that happened in a rest area. I don't believe the 90 mph story, there would have been alot more damage.

    Looks like long slight downhill grade into there, but agree, 90 mph is just not plausible with the limited dmg seen. Maybe at peak speed before they started ANY braking.... but that looks cleaner than a lot of 55 mph wrecks ive seen

    These tow truck operators filming themselves like they are big heroes, are really just egocentric cable jockies wanting 15 minutes of fame. I knew a guy that had a towing operation in Wis. and they have a different way of looking at things.They make a good living off others misfortune, and I couldn't do that.

    I agree, everybody is a star these days with their little cameras hoping TLC or some other channel comes along offering them a show.

    And why do they have to name their trucks? Like we care...
