... It doesn't get much more real than that.
Since driving a wrecker is part of my night job, I have seen a few wrecks up close and personal. Some were minor, some were serious, and a few were the kind where you can only say 'Jesus H Christ...'.
I haven't been, and don't plan on getting in an accident... although I have had to do a few ditch-dives, and had a small argument with a fence once....
