FULL VERSION (HD VIDEO)April 1 2012 - Tow truck and tractor trailer roll over cliff in Northern Norway

April 1, 2012 at 8:05 PM ET - A truck driver in Norway considered
himself lucky Sunday, after a trailer and his tow truck were pulled off
of a steep snow-covered cliff. Eyewitness Gunn Iren Johnsrud watched as
the tow truck and its load were pulled from County Road 78 in Leirosen,
Norway.
The trailer being towed slid to the side of the road, where it fell
through a barrier and began descending down the steep slope to a river.
The quick-thinking driver immediately hopped out of his truck, which
was also dragged down the cliff. The driver was taken to a hospital in
Sandnessjøen, where he was treated for broken bones. The driver of the
tow truck is presently listed in stable condition at Helgelandssykehuset
Sandnessjøen.

  • Sorry everyone. I meant to upload the longer version. I'll queue it in again. It is mostly talking to the truck driver. It is all in Norwegian, if anyone here can translate.

  • I saw this the first time that it was posted and I can't help but think that there was somebody in the truck being towed doing the steering. Any further details?

  • I heard you like to tow a truck, now you're gonna need a towtruck to tow your towtruck so you can tow while you tow.
