I'm a retired Deputy from Georgia and I can positively tell you that the wrecker drivers were our hero's. I can say without doubt they saved many people from further accidents by getting the roads cleared fast. Happy birthday.
😱 It's pretty unbelievable that the driver of the first car/pickup truck was walking around after the accident. He must have an enormous big guardian angel. Congratulations 🎉 for having a sturdy stomach and really good nerves to be able to do the wrecker job. 2) I wish you to have a great day with your son at the tractor event. Happy birthday! Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards, luck and health in particular. To all of you of course.
Happy birthday Jonathan, they were some lucky people to have walked away from those wrecks, have a good day at the tractor show with your son, take care and God bless Y'all.
My father always told me when I was growing up it's not about being in the right. If the other driver does something stupid and get into an accident you could be right. DEAD right, especially if you are on a pedal bike or a motor bike. He drove tow trucks for over twenty years and used to take me along on a lot of calls when I was a kid. That has stayed with me thru the years. The lessons he taught me about driving still ring in my ears 35 years after he passed away.
Good golly, Jonathan, you've got a heart of gold, helping that accident victim the way you did. God Bless your soul! I'm literally stunned at how people survive such crashes. And yes, DUI, texting, distracted driving is a major, major deal today. Be safe out there on the roads. Happy Birthday! Have a great day with your son!!
I had never considered Fentanyl poisoning in towing/hauling. That would be messed up way to check-out! Happy forthcoming Birthday, Jonathan! I have you have the happiest of Happy Birthday's! 🎉🎂🎊
I know what it means that your are always on call with your work. .Day or night rain or snow we raised a lot of different stuff on the cattle farm, and something happed every day. Wish you a Happy Birthday and hope you have many more.. Enjoy your videos
Jonathan i drove a wrecker for a short time in Charlestown west Virginia seen a lot of wrecks nothing like that you do great work love your videos thank you for your sharing life with us.
When you extrapolate what you showed us here, from the counties you cover with your wrecker service, to the nation as a whole, it's violent auto carnage 24/7 in America!! "OD'ed while driving down the road," says all you need to know about the drug problem in rural America. Likewise with your decision not to get into some of these cars because of the danger of fentanyl! What a world we live in! Stay safe Jonathan W! Thanks for your channel!
Jonathan, hope your birthday was a very happy one! THANK you for your service in keeping the roads cleared & safe, and showing us what can happen out on the road with unsafe driving. I enjoy the car and the steam engine videos, it's amazing and inspiring as to what you are capable of!
Happy Birthday! My guess on that tree vs pickup truck was 120 MPH. What a violent wreck! God must have a plan for that man and allowed him to stay here on earth!
Happy birthday JW 👍. Wreck’s happened in a split microsecond. My wife cousin just wrecked here in Florida she’s from Horseshoe NC. Her passenger is in the hospital with a broken neck and hip. She thought the light turned green and ran it. The passenger seen what was doing but couldn’t get her name out.When a Nissan pickup creamed her. Luckily the post between the two doors kept the truck from crushing her passenger. Thanks for sharing.
I'm really awed by how well our cars and trucks are engineered for crashes. If you hadn't said that none of those wrecks were fatal, I would have guessed that the big majority would have been deaths. That first truck especially was amazing. I first thought that the motor had been pulled. I couldn't believe that it had been pushed back that far and didn't hurt the driver. The gentleman who had a tree fall while he was driving really brings home the fact that no matter how carefully you drive, we're never really in control.
Thanks, Jonathan. These are always sobering to see, and also affirming to see the level of protection the passenger cabin is designed for. Makes you think and knocks a little complacency out of people each time. In conjunction with Jonathan's wrecked vehicle compilations, I would recommend a little casual viewing on the "dash-cam accident" or "bad driver compilation" channels that are littered all over CZcams. Those make you think about how you might be making the same mistakes behind the wheel and how to avoid such incidents. 👍
Might be time to make a steam powered vehicle crusher,strip the alloys out of the units and cube up the ferrous into blocks for easy transport..cheers for the video and have a happy birthday to you.
Filming the wreck could be accomplished by a dash-cam, then you'd be able to not worry about it. Holy cannoli, the tree deleted that engine! Amazing what'll shear right off from those forces. Crazy what can be survived. Man, I'm amazed the dog survived that wreck! Hope it got checked out too.
Happy birthday, Jonathan! The good thing is modern cars are much stronger than old stuff, with crumple zones, safety cells, multiple airbags, seat belt pretensioners, ABS and stability control. Accidents like the 2014 Chevrolet featured would not have been survivable in a 1970s vehicle. I love my 1978 Cadillac but I also know it's not as safe as my Mk VII VW Golf SportWagen.
That Chevy pickup just needs a little chain and come-along to straighten it out. Then you can JB weld that trans and drive shaft back together. ;) Happy Birthday man!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JONATHAN I used to drive a wrecker I towed for an car auction and other days did recoveries as well .your right though it is a different life style. Blessings and be safe!!
Good video! I found your comment about the risk involved in going inside wrecked vehicles due to fentanayl very alarming. Lots of jobs now that were good ones, are now extremely dangerous because you just don't know what you're getting exposed to. Damned shame things have unraveled like they have.
You took the words right out of my mouth.It’s not for the faint of heart the job you do and mentally it has to wear one out.Thank God you have a good family and interests outside of your craft.I love the mechanical creativity in the auto builds but the steam engineering is historic preservation.
Happy Birthday Johnathan. Man, those vehicles took a beating. Glad all the drivers survived. Maybe people will see this video, and smarten up their driving habits. Thanks and God bless.
You are absolutely correct about being a wrecker driver, it is a lifestyle. I grew up around the business, did it myself in my 20's and loved it. Haven't ran one in over 20 years but still love everything about it. Happy early birthday Jonathan!!!
Johnathan, Public Announcement. Please don’t drink, text, or drive under the influence of drugs. It’s getting to the point of taking you life into your own hands every time you go on a public roadway. Thank you for showing and talking about these wrecks . You might have saved someone’s life.👍👍👍🙏🏽🇺🇸✌🏻😎
My babysitter and neighbor's boyfriend 40 something years ago hit a maple tree driving some early 70s land yacht at an estimated speed of 130mph. The dash and part of the firewall was the only thing wrapped around the tree with a full unopened beer setting on it. The engine and transmission were never found and were belived to have crossed the North bound George Washington Parkway lanes and went into the Potomac River. 6 kids died instantly and as of 3 years ago that tree is still there in the median. Between drug overdoses and accidents as an addict myself I never thought I'd live to my current 53 years especially with the way people I grew up with died from prescription pain meds ironically in my case from hitting a semi at 50mph in 99. I was fine untill I wasn't like that guy you saved. Happy birthday. My last 14 have been clean ones.
Happy Birthday to you, Jonathan! What surprised me was that you got your first Moto Guzzi wreck. Those are big and fast motorcycles, so I wouldn't be surprised if the driver wouldn't have been "pushing it" a bit. On a motorcycle, you always need to have at least two safe escape moves planned at all times, and that definitely requires being moving. May you keep on being safe and stay healthy!
Thank youfor only showing non fatalities Some of these wrecks look Horrible I certainly appreciate 🙏 what you do . I'm sure you've seen some gruesome stuff . Happy belated birthday 🎂 🥳 Jonathan
When I was a volunteer firefighter/EMT I had the same problem with being on duty whenever I was home of course when I was at work I did the same thing being on call for industrial accidents and medical emergencies so it really was a life style but I loved it even though sometime you had to deal with some really bad stuff. Holidays were never a holiday for me because that was usually when everything happened.
I'm a retired Deputy from Georgia and I can positively tell you that the wrecker drivers were our hero's. I can say without doubt they saved many people from further accidents by getting the roads cleared fast. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, Jonathan! Hope you and your son have a great day spending time together.
Happy Birthday 🎂🎉 love all your videos!!!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, enjoy yourself.
Happy, Happy, Birthday Mr. Jonathan!!! May God bless you with many more!!! Be careful out there and God bless you and your family!!!! Eddy

Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health in particular. To all of you of course.
Seat belts with pretensioners, crumple zones, safety cell design and lots of airbags is why he survived. That and a lot of good fortune that day.
Happy birthday Jonathan, they were some lucky people to have walked away from those wrecks, have a good day at the tractor show with your son, take care and God bless Y'all.
Many happy returns Jonathan, and have a great day with your son. Make some memories.
Yeah, you can't quit your "day job". Appreciate all your content and thoroughly enjoy your endeavors on the home front, as I have for some years now

Happy B day..... nice pole print! Lots of respect from Vancouver

He was being looked after for sure.

The wet work takes a numb mop. Beating the buzzards off the bucket, takes hell of a soldier.
Congrats, another year on the books.
Wishing you a VERY HAPPY and SAFE BIRTHDAY
GOD BLESS

Happy Birthday Jonathan !
Might be time to make a steam powered vehicle crusher,strip the alloys out of the units and cube up the ferrous into blocks for easy transport..cheers for the video and have a happy birthday to you.

Happy Birthday Jonathan!! ..great video and sure makes one think! Thanks for all your wonderful videos and have a great birthday !..stay safe.
Filming the wreck could be accomplished by a dash-cam, then you'd be able to not worry about it.
Holy cannoli, the tree deleted that engine! Amazing what'll shear right off from those forces.
Crazy what can be survived. Man, I'm amazed the dog survived that wreck! Hope it got checked out too.
That driver of the black truck needs to buy a lottery ticket! Amazing he walked away.
As a retired firefighter, I can say Holy sh*t I am floored that first truck driver is alive! Let alone walking around.
Thanks for your service and Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday Jonathan 🎈🎂🎈 Some definitely some Heavy crashes
Happy birthday, Jonathan! The good thing is modern cars are much stronger than old stuff, with crumple zones, safety cells, multiple airbags, seat belt pretensioners, ABS and stability control.

Happy birthday 🎉 Johnathan and stay safe
Happy birthday to you , Jonathan ! Have a great day , & enjoy yourself !
Happy birthday. sir
Hi Jon. Those wrecks are gnarly!. Have a great birthday and a well deserved day out at the show. All the best, Mart in England.
That Chevy pickup just needs a little chain and come-along to straighten it out. Then you can JB weld that trans and drive shaft back together. ;) Happy Birthday man!
Holy cow, Jonathan, what you have to work with. I pray for your safety every day.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Johnathan ,have fun with your son .
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JONATHAN I used to drive a wrecker I towed for an car auction and other days did recoveries as well .your right though it is a different life style. Blessings and be safe!!
Happy Birthday Jonathon,.. all the way from Guernsey Channel Islands !!
Good video! I found your comment about the risk involved in going inside wrecked vehicles due to fentanayl very alarming. Lots of jobs now that were good ones, are now extremely dangerous because you just don't know what you're getting exposed to. Damned shame things have unraveled like they have.
Truck did a good job of absorbing a lot of the crash energy. Good design of the truck. You cannot transport injured people.
Happy birthday Jonathan, have a great day out with your son.
Lots of good advice from a man who's seen a lot. Great video It was interesting to see and hear the stories on those wrecks.
Happy Birthday Jonathan ..have a great day...
Hey...have a Happy Birthday . Enjoy your boy's day out🤗. Be safe.
Wishing you a great birthday, Jonathan🎂❤
That Red GMC has got some nice seats and steering wheel for future projects for you. Love these videos
HAPPY B DAY! Best kind too...doing something you want to and with your son. Enjoy!
Thanks JW, Bless you for what you do; happy B'day.
Happy birthday, Jonathan!!!
First post I watched of yours was you scraping a yellow Corvette off the road with your roll back.😁👍
Happy birthday Jonathan you have a fantastic day with your son what is the most important thing in be safe my friend
You took the words right out of my mouth.It’s not for the faint of heart the job you do and mentally it has to wear one out.Thank God you have a good family and interests outside of your craft.I love the mechanical creativity in the auto builds but the steam engineering is historic preservation.
Yikes! That's a lot of road carnage. Keep up the good work.
Happy Birthday! Watch every video you make!! Keep up the good deeds!
Happy birthday Jonathan I hope you have an awesome time on your trip
I hope all those drivers have a moment of reflection about their experience. Their lives have miraculously been extended.
Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a fantastic day! Stay safe and may God bless!
Happy Birthday Johnathan. Man, those vehicles took a beating. Glad all the drivers survived. Maybe people will see this video, and smarten up their driving habits. Thanks and God bless.
Happy Birthday, Jonathan!
These drivers are the type that usually injury other people but escape unhurt, remember we share the roads with these upstanding citizens.
As they say in Scandahoovia... "Uff da!" Carnage. Happy Boipday Kemosabe.
Happy birthday, Jonathan!
Happy Birthday, young man!
Dont worry about the number...its a problem we all have once a year! 😅.
Happy Birthday to you and enjoy the day with your son. That is better than money in the bank.
You are absolutely correct about being a wrecker driver, it is a lifestyle.
I grew up around the business, did it myself in my 20's and loved it.
Haven't ran one in over 20 years but still love everything about it.
Happy early birthday Jonathan!!!
Happy Birthday Jonathan 🎂 🎉🎉
Your a good guy for takin that guy home.
I thought so too. Glad you took the time to give him a ride. Good may come from it.
Happy Birthday Johnathan!! 👍🎂🎉
Happy birthday to you and your son. Stay safe.

For all them when they're at their worst. . . Thank you for the thankless service and compassion you give.
Many happy returns Jonathon
Crusher won't have any problems finishing that one off.
When I was a volunteer firefighter/EMT I had the same problem with being on duty whenever I was home of course when I was at work I did the same thing being on call for industrial accidents and medical emergencies so it really was a life style but I loved it even though sometime you had to deal with some really bad stuff.
