Watch: A Texas Tow Truck Driver Tried To Pull A Flooded Sedan To Safety. He Flipped It On Its Side Instead.
A tow truck driver in Texas attempted to pull a flooded sedan to safety, but instead flipped it on its side due to the physics of towing in floodwater. Highway 59 in Marshall, Texas isn't built for boats, but Monday afternoon it briefly worked like one.

Videographer Joey Starr caught the whole thing on camera, and the footage is now a pretty good case study in how not to pull a car out of a flooded roadway.
