Minnesota: Tow Truck Driver Recounts Frightening S. St. Paul Crash
Minnesota Towing & Recovery
A crash in South St. Paul Tuesday morning shows just how dangerous it can be for emergency workers responding to accidents. A car hit a Minnesota State Patrol squad car, pinning the trooper inside and throwing tow truck driver Warren Duran onto a busy road.
“My heart was pumping a million miles an hour,” Duran said. “I was shaken up because I’ve never had anything like this happen before.”
Duran, who works for Southeast Towing, was getting ready to tow a car on Interstate 494 and Concord Street when a driver lost control, hitting a squad car — which then subsequently hit the car Duran was working on. “I’m underneath the right side of the vehicle hooking my chain up, and I hear a bang,” Duran said.
