A tow truck swerved to avoid a stalled car on the southbound Sam Rayburn Tollway at Hardin Boulevard in McKinney, Texas on October 22, 2024, causing the cab to roll over and dangle from the overpass edge in a crash captured by traffic cameras, according to FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth and CBS Texas. McKinney firefighters broke the cab glass and extracted the driver, who was treated for minor injuries.
Operator takeaway
A stalled car on a tollway caused a tow truck to flip over an overpass barrier — when you are the one responding to the stalled vehicle, your own approach speed and lane positioning determine whether you become the second incident.
