Plan To Pick Up SUV With A Crane Goes From Bad To Catastrophic Failure

Crane-style tow trucks are pretty common in places where space is limited. Even though this particular one seems to have plenty of room to operate; whoever hooked up this Volkswagen Touareg did just about everything wrong.

At least(?) the SUV looks like it's already been wrecked before the flatbed operator drops it on its ass. Or maybe that's just damage from previous attempts to get it on the tray. If it wasn't a total loss before it got picked up, it sure is now.

Disasters like this are better incentive to stay out of "Tow Away" zones than the fines they threaten.
