Wrong Way Driver vs Big Rig Crash (recorded with DJI Action 4)

- Wrong Way Driver vs Big Rig Crash! First, there were NO fatalities on this job. The big rig driver rode back with us to the shop, and I believe the lady in the Kia got a ride. Modern engineering truly is crazy to be able to survive something like this. I got this call from CHP and responded in Hulk, my 50ton rotator.
I kept this video as long as possible to show you just how long it takes me to fully clear a complicated mangled scene like this one, which took roughly one hour flat. The force of the impact took out this guy's entire passenger side and front axle, which made it tricky to clear and eventually tow. I did this part with my 1/2" Omega links (grade 10) over the engine frame and through the leaf spring to prevent them from sliding. The bulk of my time on scene was clearing out the mangled mess between the axle, DEF and other parts.
Luckily Alex was available and responded in a flatbed to help take the debris and also the driver. Once he helped me connect air to release the brakes, we were out and back at the shop in 10 minutes. I didn't get that part with my DJI Action 4, but the shop cams did and look pretty cool to see what that process looks like at night from a street view.
So what do you guys think of my new action camera? How did it perform at night and with my constant running around? Hoping you guys like this one so I can start using that camera more!

Poor driver, he looked lost. Love the quality keep them coming.
Keep Safe
My son is impaired and we sit every night watching your videos. He gets so excited, and now he is telling me what is going to happen. please keep your videos showing. Linda and Chad from Howell Michigan. STAY SAFE ALWAYS💂♀
Good job on this recovery. The video quality was excellent. It was nice of you to let the driver hang out for a couple days. I'm sure his world was temporarily turned upside down after the accident.
You do a fantastic job of describing all the details of how you are going to handle the recovery. You are such a great professional and show great concern for the people involved in the accident. I watch all your videos and often share them with others. God bless you, your family, and your company.
Super job was a driver for 35 years and happy I never had to go through something like that. Be safe. I enjoy your videos thank you so much.
22 years driving a tow truck in the Inland Empire Southern California and in Orange County never once have I seen a CHP officer with a push broom that's pretty cool
it's also cool that you don't show fatals I didn't either great job
Damn Josh, Hulk is an impressive piece of kit! Seriously the amount of things it can do on a recovery like this is insane.
6:34 “No casualties, No injuries, all this stuff can be replaced.”
Very true.
Very cliché. It's like the cool/deep thing to say, kinda gets old tbh.
Love your videos and I am so thankful that no one was seriously injured and that you and Alex were able to make it back home safely
Josh, she sure tore up that tractor. How did she get in the wrong way lane? Good grief!! Good job Josh and Alex. Stay safe out there guys. Just fortunate no one was hurt. I felt so bad for the poor driver guy.
I am a 70 yo retired nurse. I was totally amazed at your abilities. Thank you for sharing
This one was very interesting because of all the twists and turns! I love the way you explain your thought processes while you keep working hard to clear it up as quickly as possible (while being safe too!). Amazing video right here.
My husband and I watched this fully on the Smart TV. We agree that you and your company do a great job! Thank you for posting on You Tube. ❤
Hi from Australia. I just found your channel. Awesome job. The poor Trucker, I feel so bad for him. That wrong way driver really did a job on his Truck. I am absolutely in awe that nobody was hurt - what a miracle. Great video quality and commentary. What an awesome unit you have. It is so versatile and well fitted out, not to mention really pretty to look at.
That is the DPF system that was attached to the side panel.
Spot on that’s exactly what it is
For low light shooting that camera is awesome, I really enjoy your videos thank you.
The technical ability of you and your crew is absolutely amazing. And your magnificent equipment and abilty to use it is incredible. God bless you and your crew, i pray for your safety on these dangerous jobs.
I have no idea why I watched this from beginning to end and found it so weirdly entertaining. I know nothing about your line of work, but from what I saw, it looked pretty incredible! The camera was great, IMO. It's amazing the truck was that destroyed and everyone walked away from this accident.
I would like to know how your fees work, job or time and material also which ones are repaired or totaled, just general information, I know nothing
Josh and Alex awesome job! A lot more work than thought there would be! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
The quality of the video is excellent ! When you pair this with your commentary it makes watching the recoveries seem like I was actually there. I'm glad there were no fatalities!
Retired living in Thailand. Love to watch you figure out how to do the job.
Most happy to see a successful fellow Mexican with a good business. Raised in San Gabriel valley.
Would like to see short video to introduce your work crew.
Continued safe success.
Hey Josh !! Great camera work & NO Complaints !! 🙃🙂😊👍👍👍👍👍 Lucky for both drivers for NO serious injuries !! Hope the truck driver was able to get a ride back home !! 🤔🙄
Made it all the way through the video and the quality was awesome!! Really enjoyed it. Yeah, the poor driver looked totally lost...was great of you guys to let him hang at the shop (I think his tractor was based in British Colombia). Really enjoy your channel! Thanks😊
All new stuff for me! I've never seen rigging like this or the endcaps for the chains.
This is what you get with someone with your experience and expertise.
Awesome job, Josh...and Alex. Gteat hustle as you thought through this tecovery quickly and efficiently. Great video quality, and yes, you can back! Thank you for letting the Driver hang with you guys for a couple days, that was a helluva wreck, he had to be shaken by it. I'll recommend you to our company.
I never miss an episode but this one was absolutely EPIC. Just all kinds of twists and turns. Great job !!!!!!!
I couldn't believe the damage to the truck and the car with major front end damage did seem not to show a lot of damage to the cabin area. Wow, it seemed that every time you turned your back something new came in sight to prolong the recovery. I enjoyed the video coverage a lot, the DJI was quality and the result was up close and personal. As a side note, huffing and puffing at the beginning might indicate the need for AM runs with Alex. Thanks guys for the video.
I really enjoyed this video, Josh. A lot of work done and all by yourself. Amazing that the car caused so much damage to that tractor. You did a great job, Josh.
Excellent video. It kept the action right in front of you. I was hooked from frame one. Keep this format in all your upcoming videos. Great job!
I agree completely, no more of the heavily edited content. I like this more relaxed natural style content. This is the way!
Thanx Josh for your work ethic and kudos to your Dad who taught them to you!
Great to see Alex on the job
i really like how neat and organized you keep your unlts
Also ... Thanks so much for the extra content ... You do good work!
Video quality was great Josh! And what a recorvery this was. Truly great that it was just material damage.
So first of all I would like to say that the quality of the camera is as good as if I was seeing it with my own eyes, like I too was present.
I sometimes caught myself trying to look in a different direction than your point of view and then I wondered why I was looking at my wall next to me,...
it was so real at times... completely forgot that I was watching a video!
Then I would like to say that there is nothing I love more than watching other people work, especially when they obviously know what they're doing.
Big praise also to your colleague, very attentive and with a helping hand, whether it was little things or things like the air pressure - great teamwork and the way it has to be!
The last thing I would like to say is that your truck is frickin' nuts.
At times it reminded me a little of ambulances or fire engines, but only when it comes to the nicely tidy and sensibly organized side compartments.
Your lifting devices will hardly let you down in any situation, the cockpit looks like it's in a small airplane, the lighting is awesome and otherwise the truck looks extremely cool.
Amazing piece of work man!
Kudos!
First time watching you. You kept my attention start-to-finish because of the excellent camera work and color quality and of course your brilliant job! Can't believe one car could do all that damage do a semi! It must have been going 150!
Love it Josh..."Keep honking, you'll get there faster." Long time since I heard that one.
Good quality footage. Thanks for updating. 😊😊😊
Great recovery, DJI makes it like we are there !
Great video quality! Josh you never cease to amaze! Quivk and efficient. Great job ❤
Wow! Great job and great video. I enjoy your ongoing monologue describing what you're doing and why. Thanks for sharing your work w/ all of us. I hope all is well w/ the big rig driver as well.
Love your video's regarts from the Nederlands
This is the best night time outdoor video I have seen on youtube.
You do a heck of a good job, my friend. All that damage from a little car is unbelievable.
Great job and video Josh and Alex! Even though I retired from a volunteer fire dept. after 20 years, I often fall back into the mindset of thinking about how we would use what you had on scene to either help stabilize a wreck or extricate a patient, so I enjoy seeing all the techniques and rigging you use to move and lift things.
Great video. I like the explanations and the ingenuity you had in dragging the pieces out while still holding the tractor in the air. The rotator really came in handy on this one. All done with one man.
Great video. Love the way you work so safely around a destroyed Freightliner not under it.
Enjoyed the video.
What a mess. Poor driver was probably partly in shock and so displaced by what had just happened.
Liked that you included the yard footage.
Pepe's Rules! Between Josh and Alex if they can't get it done it just can't be done! Josh cleared that semi in half the time the CHP officer thought he needed! Great camera work at night! You have a keeper in the new camera! Go Pros usually suck in the dark!
Very impressed with the trucks (Pete's) and the equipment Y'all carry for every job. Right equipment certainly makes the job easier. Great camera work, even in the dark. Thanks as always, stay safe guys
The new camera did a great job. I was particularly impressed at how well it handles the dramatic swings in the amount of available light when you're going between facing the wreck in the dark and facing Hulk with its eleventy billion candlepower of lights.
I feel for the truck driver. Can’t imagine what mental state he in after this. He looks lost and bewildered. I am a truck driver also and this could end your career.
I am amazed that even though everything from the frame down got ripped free there wasn't any anti freeze or oil spills...that by itself is a good thing for you guys and those that cleared the shrapnel from the car that got scattered on the road. Crazy lucky that no injuries... great to see too. The extras at the shop and your narration was great Josh and the video and audio overall was fine...no glitches at all.
Stay safe out there!!
It's good to see you and Hulk together again!
I’m addicted to watching your videos
You create some of the best monologues as you do you expert work...
After glancing at the comments, it is commendable that you take the time to read them and reply when it is appropriate. Certainly a first rate job.
I value feedback a ton and love my fans. You guys are the reason I invest so much time into making videos. I stay so busy so I don’t reply as much as I wish I could but I try my best.
This dji camera is sick at night. A lot brighter than Alex’s go pro, through no fault of his own, go pros just aren’t that good at night. That said I’m LOVING the multiple videos. Also I have to give a shout out to Alex for filming all the cool stuff he does, AND (a slightly larger shoutout) to you Josh, for editing the extra videos and giving us 2 a week lately. The editing process alone I’ve heard is majorly time consuming. Editing on top of being a father to a young child, and driving the rotator. A HULKing task for sure.
Awesome job Sir! I like and appreciate the long less edited version. Thanks again!
That wrong way driver was one lucky lady! But she tore the heck out of that tractor! Good job Josh getting everything rigged up so you could tow it and Alex coming out to help things up!
Oh don't you worry, no way in hell will that lady get to just walk it all off like it aint no thing. She broke the law, went the wrong way, and risked other people's lives, and destroyed a semi-truck. Whether her going the wrong way was accidental or not doesn't matter. What matters is she broke the law, caused property damage, and could have killed both herself, and other's, including the truck driver. If I was a court judge, I would be pulling her license, I believe that is the correct course of action, as well as making sure she pays all applicable fines and damages.
Your right she has a very big bill to pay and maybe some jail time!@@stellarproductions8888
The video was AWESOME!!!! Very high res, excellent quality. Look forward to more!!!
Good job brother I like the videos a lot I used to tow myself for about 9 years until 2007 when I was in a collision, car took a red light onto me and hit me on my driver's side. I was driving a chevy tow truck from the accident I suffered a broken vertebrae and 2 slid discs. Now I have 12 screws and a braket on my lower spine a spinal fusion on my L4-5 . I always wanted to learn heavy but was unable anymore. Love your recovery videos always watching you till the end. God bless you brother and take care out there. 👍🙏
You and Alex make a great team! The DJI camera seems to be very good. Nice color quality.
As always, great job, Josh. Lets see how the new camera works in the heat, that will be the true test. Thank you!
Great video. Hard duty and mostly by yourself. Thanks for sharing
Expected the engine to drop out next. 😂
Video quality was great, which isn't easy to do in the middle of the night with light levels going everywhere. The quality of your video content honestly deserves far more subscribers than you have. At least you can say you got to where you are through hard work, not a lucky viral video. Keep up the great work!
One of the best of your best episodes! Great images and sound.
Great work guys! Just goes to show, at first glance the damage to the tractor didn't look too bad, but the closer you got, the worse it got! 😮. Superb video quality, especially the smooth low-light movement. 👍
Just like restaurant advertisements. In the ads, they always make the burgers look so amazingly delicious. Then you go to the Mikcy D's, and you get served a sloppy burger with tomato and lettuce hanging out, and a lopsided bun arrangement. Then your like, I paid 6 dollars for this? HAHA!
Fascinating! Your tow truck is like a Swiss Army knife
Great quality footage!!! Wow!!!! That was some serious carnage done to that poor driver’s truck!!!
Great video.
Lot's of work to get it tow ready.
Josh congratulations on getting 103's subscribers ! I love your videos !
My late 20 I thought about trying hauling over size load or a hook 🪝 for the challenge. I saw a tow truck with a 2x4x5( 3 stick truck) he let me ride when he pulled a truck out of the mud. He shifted 5 times in 10 feet. 😮 crazy low hears and never spin the tires.
You did amazing job. Respect
The video quality is amazing! If I didn’t know better I’d have thought the film was from a professional movie camera!
Amazing amount of damage on that truck. ..great video !!
Cheers from Australia 🦘
I love watching guys at work who know what the hell they're doing.
Best video! I love the fact that you taught along the way. So thankful that everybody is OK. I was very surprised that a passenger vehicle did that much damage to a big boy. Never have I seen an 18 wheeler with so much damage. Just to let you know I watched all the way to the end and have totally enjoyed this video. It was a Enjoyable and thanks for such a clean speaking video God bless you
By my casual observation while RVing, at least half the big rigs on the road today are Freightliner, so makes sense you’re seeing a lot of them wrecked.
I love your videos. They are better than any of the other well known channels, by far. It's a mystery why you don't have 100k more subs.
Yeah, I love Pepe's for sure! But I consider Ron Pratt the best, mainly because of his many years of experience, and how professional and respectful he is. But it takes all kinds in the industry, and team work makes the dream work.
@@stellarproductions8888 I gotta disagree with you there. Yes, I was watching Ron long before I found Josh's channel, but over time I began to realize that Ron's experience was not as absolute as I used to think. But I'm not really talking about knowledge or experience, but the content of the videos themselves. It's far more interesting watching a rollover get righted than it is watching a combine get dragged out of a field. But more importantly, Josh's videography is stellar. EDIT: Oops, I just now noticed your name. Using the word "stellar" was purely coincidental. I'm a professional writer, and it was just the word that fit.
@@powertool64 Actually, what you said makes sense to me. I think you might be right about that specifically. This is why it's great watching multiple recovery channels. I just got done watching one where a small company tow operator had to deal with an entitled karren, who was complaining about him blocking the road with his wrecker, because of the job he had to do, all because a dumb trucker who should have known better, took a semi down a narrow one lane road and then took a turn to short, putting his trailer tandoms in a ditch. Once he got rigged up, really only took like 15 minutes to get him lifted up and out of there. But you know how them karrens gotta be, make a seen to make my blood boil lol. It's great watching all kinds of recoveries. I will say this, I did get tired of the 15 minute off the road car recoveries on Ron's channel. I was like, dude, you got a rotator, let's get some real stuff done, you got other workers to handle this basic stuff. Lol. BTW, good luck dude, this writers strike has been brutal in the industry.
I love the long content! Excellent company and channel.
the camera quality is insanely crisp. i love your content, been binging a lot recently!! keep up the good work man!
New camera did good afaic. Wow I think that is the most messed up recovery I have seen you guys do. I can't believe a small car did that much damage. It's a miracle that no one was hurt or killed. I think the truck driver was in shock.
Excellent Quality on the camera. Great job explaining it all.
That new camera is awesome- even at night it’s a clear great picture. Love what you do and thanks for sharing with all of us! ❤
On vacation from the UK last Sunday 09/10/23 at about 9am, we drove up to the Boyle Yard. Took some photos and then went to the Target on Sunset via. 101 & Western. Came back home and this was the next video to watch. Spooky coincidence.
with the damage done, that impact must have been huge on the driver.
I loved all your commentary and how much you enjoy what you do. I always like learning stuff even if I'll never do it myself! The new camera was great, super clear. Kudos to Alex too for the quick air repair. And you did a great backup job into the yard lol.
Love the yard shots! Don't worry, someday when you grow up you'll be able to back up as good as the "old man".
It's obvious, but wow!, The tractor is toast!, I agree with Alex, it's rare to see that much damage, everything just falls out like that!, This is a first!, I have NEVER seen a totalled big rig!, Damn ... What a mess! ... Alex, GREAT job!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wrong guy lol, I was the one that said that. Alex is the one that showed up in the flatbed later.
@@PepesTowingService ... Again ... I am sorry I got your name wrong, no disrespect intended, take care, and keep up the good work!
That was fascinating. So happy there were no fatalities.
Has to be the best camera location and video quality ever.
Thanks for the Memories
The DJI Action 4 camera is awesome… keep using it bro !!!
Liked the night time camera quality. Alex sure is athletic!
great video, i watched the entire thing in 4k
Good job, love your content. The new camera is awesome.
Thank GOD NO One Was Hurt & The Quality Was GREAT
We Thought, & YA NICE BLIND SIDING
Especially With A BIG BIG LONG RIG Like That & Don't Sell Yourself Short Your More Than HANDY AT BACKING ☆☆☆☆☆
👍👍👍👍👍😉
Great quality & content. We love watching you work through a problem. 😎
This guy is good and he is a hard worker 💪 I'm surprised with all of the damage to the undercarriage of the truck that nobody was injured, thank God, and please be safe 🙏
The new camera worked great Josh. Another awesome recovery job, that was one messed up crash to clean up.
The video quality is crazy!. good work. crazy wreck
