Road Wars Key Art

This week’s installment of Road Wars veers straight into the bizarre. The featured incident? A tow truck driver in Cleveland flipping a disabled vehicle – with the driver still inside – into oncoming traffic. Yes, you read that correctly. It’s the kind of jaw-dropping moment that makes you question the sanity of everyone involved. And it’s just a taste of the vehicular mayhem featured in this episode.

From a street brawl in Toronto sparked by a minor traffic dispute to a freeway shootout in Texas where an ex-convict risks his life to save a wounded police officer, “Flippin’ Tow Truck” seems determined to deliver maximum road-related chaos. We’ll also witness a bus driver causing a six-car pileup in Colorado, because apparently, one near-fatal tow truck incident just isn’t enough.
