A couple who could not afford a tow truck chain-towed a broken-down Saab on Interstate 610 in Houston, and when the Saab's axle broke, it swerved back and forth across multiple freeway lanes in what witnesses compared to a scene from Fast and Furious, according to ABC13 Houston. The man towing the car was arrested on an active warrant from Georgia.
Operator takeaway
A chain tow on a freeway that turned into a multi-lane swerving hazard — this is what happens when people cannot afford professional towing, and it is the best argument for accessible pricing.
