Slight Bump

Sigmawess · May 1, 2009

My buddy was driving in Houston when he got cut off. It was raining and he hydroplaned into a curb. He said it felt like he just barely hit it. He was only going like 15 mph. He got out to check the damage and found the entire wheel assembly knocked off. Its fixed now, but still sucks. This is a pic at the body shop. The had to replace the bed from the tow truck driver tearing it up.

If you hit something that doesn't move it isn't hard to snap off an axle. They aren't designed to withstand forces from the side like that.

That really does make one hell of a crappy day. Not the first time I've heard of a tow truck driver messing up something that was not broken. I had a buddy get is Monte Carlo towed once, they bent the control arms some how. I think it was either getting it up onto the flat bed or it was strapping it down. Either way the tow truck company tried claiming they did not do it.

How much was the cost of repairs? (I'm assuming insurance covered it)

I know a guy who drives a tow truck, he told me he would never let someone tow his vehicle with a flatbed because most tow truck drivers don't know how to hook a vehicle with a flat bed.
