Working as a tow truck operator is a high-stakes job, and one incident at New Year’s had painted just how dangerous it can get. Arslan Khan, a tow operator based in Cleveland, Ohio, recently shared footage from his vehicle and body camera on Instagram and TikTok that captured the moment. While helping a vehicle that had called for help, a passing car crashed after running into his truck. Miraculously, everyone walked away without a scratch.
Arslan was out to help a red car. Even with a flurry of snow and it being dark, he noted in the caption that visibility was good. Additionally, he had his amber hazard lights flashing to warn oncoming traffic, but the drivers were still racing past. He then called 911. “I’m here to get a vehicle that’s stranded in the ditch. A lot of people are not really slowing down, so I think some coverage would be a good idea here.”
