we did this one a couple of months ago.a truck driving through allston(part of boston)speeding with hazmat lost control,hit 9 cars then went up in flames
dragging a car under the truck.we were calleed by boston pd.after hours of waiting for investigation we were given the ok after a brief discussion with boston
hazmat and fire about my recovery plan was.first we lifted the truck very very slowunder hazmats orders in case and spark would occur.the question was how much
gas was still in the car.the gas tank was under the fronr axle.lifted front end with heavy,used medium duty to pull car out then used flat bed to tow car
away,or what was left of it.not many action photos,camera went dead and our other drivers did not bring theirs.thanks for looking....chris

I saw this on the news that whole day not one person was seriously hurt other than the driver of the truck who claimed he blacked out and almost every car he
hit for like a 1/2 mile was parked and the cars went into buildings and trolley tracks it looked like one hell of a mess on tv. Great job Chris to you and your
crew.
Oh and the driver of that truck had lost his licence 5 times prior to this accident from what the paper said. |

I believe that load contained hospital supplies, possible biohazard material? Any clarification on the matter Chris?
