COLUMBIA, Ill. – Shocking new video from a St. Louis-area towing company shows a van launching into the air and flipping over after the driver crashed into the bed of a rollback tow truck, narrowly missing a worker and oncoming traffic.

The crash happened around 1:30 p.m. Friday near Quality Towing’s facility in Columbia, Illinois.

Quality Towing shared an analysis video on YouTube just hours after the crash, showing several angles of the collision and promoting it as a reminder for drivers to slow down and pay attention.

According to a worker who narrated the video, one of his co-workers, Allen, pulled over on the right side of an undisclosed two-lane roadway with a speed limit of 55 mph. He was helping a customer whose vehicle was stranded in a nearby grassy area.

The tow truck positioned itself just six inches over the white line due to its size, though flashed its emergency lights, extended it truck bed and followed other safety protocols.

Earlier in the analysis video, several drivers are seen slowing down or shifting lanes to give space. But after a few minutes, a white van from behind maintained its speed and clipped the rollback ramp or the tow truck.

Footage from three cameras shows the van launching up the rollback ramp, coming inches from hitting the tow truck’s passenger side, and flipping into the middle of the road, just missing another vehicle.

A front camera also shows one driver in an oncoming Ford vehicle reacting quickly and narrowly avoiding a collision with the airborne van. The van then skidded several car lengths down the road.

Afterwards, Quality Towing worker Allen, who witnessed the crash, said of it, “A lot of disbelief. Wondering did that really happen. … Just wish people would learn to slow down and move over.”

Fortunately, no injuries were reported from anyone involved or nearby during the crash.

Quality towing said of the crash via Facebook, “Luckily, it was just a close call, and nobody was injured. We are so thankful this wasn’t worse. Please slow down, move over, or do both when you see emergency vehicles on the side of the road.”
