Watch: A Texas Tow Truck Driver Tried To Pull A Flooded Sedan To Safety. He Flipped It On Its Side Instead.
Highway 59 in Marshall, Texas isn’t built for boats, but Monday afternoon it briefly worked like one. A fast, heavy band of storms parked over Harrison County and dropped enough rain to turn a stretch of the highway into waist-deep water, stranding cars and pulling tow trucks into a recovery job that turned into its own disaster. 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.
