I Know I can, I Know I Can, I Know I Can, Choo, Choo.

Not only did both tow trucks run a red light, take a closer look. The little Tow Truck is using a tow rope to pull the big Tow Truck. All this while driving on Rt. 50 heading towards Berlin.

Funny, when you and I break down we call a Tow Truck. When a Tow Truck Breaks down they don't call for a bigger truck to come get them. They just break the law.

#1 you can't prove the truck ran that red light from a single picture. It could have gone through on green or yellow.
#2 Big truck could have broken down in the intersection and rather than hold up traffic waiting for an even larger truck they could have gotten permission to move it out of the flow of traffic with a smaller truck.
Everyone on here is so anxious to tear into someone over every little thing. If that big truck broke down and had to wait for super heavy equipment and blocked up traffic enough that someone died in an ambulance you'd be ripping into them just the same.

They were solving a problem.....there's nothing nefarious in that. It's what tow trucks do. When the lead vehicle entered the intersection, the other had to follow, no braking or backing up with the wrecker in tow. Blocking the intersection would have been just dumb.

10:01, Oh you can believe one thing, I can prove it. If you think that is the ONLY picture I took you are very wrong. I have several, bit by bit. The front tow truck has a manual transmission. It had to go through a few gears, allowing the rope to droop and slowly go into the next gear so they didn't tear the tow rope. By the time he started the light was already red. It took quite some time to get to the point of the image I've provided here. So, since I was the witness, I can PROVE it.

#2, the truck did NOT break down at that intersection. Again, I witnessed it coming in from a side road near that WalMart side exit.

Now mind you, my point here is that IF that would be illegal for you and me to tow a vehicle with a tow rope, how dangerous is it to tow a huge tow truck like this one.

if the large truck was not running, it would not have any brakes either(dUHH")
how would they stop it?

I just don't see any wires or rope or anything coming off of the smaller truck to the larger truck... From this one picture...

If you can't prove that truck ran a red light from a single picture, how come I can get a red light ticket from a single picture?

So what's the issue? They won't be fined or no driver will be taken to court..should have gone to their place of business and show the management folks.... Man up would have been the right way of handling!

You won't see this in the mainstream media! Thanks for the hard hitting reporting SBYNews!

Anyone from the Berlin area knows who owns this tow company and I'm sure the owner would laugh at this. He is so arrogant that he thinks he's beyond reproach for anything he does.

Tow trucks are considered emergency vehicles when performing their job. Were the emergency lights activated? Grow up and stop whining about why you can't do what others can. Start a towing company and get a tow truck with lights on it.

I give them a pass as anyone who has ever towed a vehicle knows its hard to judge and takes longer to maneuver. At least they are working

OK but when your POS little Jeep breaks I know where you will take it. He's never been anything but professional with me. Cocky maybe, but I'd be cocky too if I married the hottest girl from high school. Still hot.

Should've called ole Richard Adkins in Salisbury to tow it in. He'd spit tobacco on it until it got there

While one vehicle is towing another and the connection is a chain, rope, or cable, a white, red, or orange-fluorescent warning flag or cloth at least 18 inches square shall be displayed on the connection.

Just how were they supposed to get the big tow truck to a shop for repair? Push it? 🤣

Where was local law enforcement? Sure this isn't catching weekend speeders on their way to OC but seriously, this is a danger to everyone on the road.
