I-5 Big Rig Wreck

Found these old picture's this week of an I-5 Big Rig wreck.
Violent Truck Wreck
Even the Engine was separated from frame!
The driver was pushed back into the sleeper somehowm but fortunately in the wreck.  The sleeper was upside-down and rescue had to use jaws-of-life to get him out.  He only got a black eye and some bump & bruises on his head. 
Very lucky....AMAZING!
The truck ran off road north of Shasta Lake on I-5 and hit a 3 foot around solid oak tree (broke the oak tree in half) the cab was tossed about 25-30 feet past the engine and on it's top. The 53' Trailer was distroyed and the boxes of Walla Walla apples where soaked in diesel fuel. 
This was another big recovery for Clayton's Heavy Duty Towing!

Large Monster Articulating Dump Truck


Trip to accident site a few days before recovery to get a look at what would
be needed for rigging and a successful recovery.
This is located on the road from Hayfork to Hyampom in Northern California.
The large dump truck landed in the river about 200 feet down.

Justin, planned and put together a rigging and safety plan for the Clayton's Heavy Duty Towing team
to recovery this monster piece of equipment out of the river.

Large Articulating Dump Truck Over the Hill in River

Monster Truck Recovery
Near Hyampom Up in the Northern California Mountains!

 The picture is zoomed in, truck is down about 200 feet from top!
 This Recovery took all of our extra Cable and Snatch Blocks
 While Clayton's Towing rigging team worked the machanic team prepared truck so all the fluids would not leak out during the recovery up the hillside, out of the river.
 Justin instructing the team for his game plan!
 The hillside was so steep that every trip up and down the men had to use repelling equipment, there was a negative drop close to the botton, the ground was loose and rocks where constantly rolling near the recovery team with every movement of man, and winch lines.
 You just never know in the Heavy Duty Towning and Recovery Business what your next job will be? Or what you will have to do to get the next job done! 
 Recovery and winching equipment going up and down hillside
 Just starting the hard pull! This is close to 70,000lbs and all but 2 tires where flat, with bent fender into one of them, which made a bad drag for the recovery. The truck keep tracting off to the side and snatch blocks and line had to be constantly re-set....huge job each time!
Justin and his team did such an incredible job!!!

 Antoher shot of how tough and steep the terrains was that added to the challenge of this remarkable recovery!!
 Final getting to the top after multiple times of re-rigging snatch blocks and line on this Monster to get it out of the river up to the top!
 All most there!
Clayton's Heavy Duty Towing of Redding California was put to the test, with of one of the toughest Recovery's they have ever had.  Justin, planned and prepared his team and preformed a very skilled and outstanding job. Safety was a very important part of the planning and that too was accomplished with this Safe recovery!!
