Driving a tow truck is hardly the easiest job in the world, as it involves both excellent driving and tight spaces maneuvering skills, as well as some knowledge of basic physics and mechanicals. One needs to be able to position the truck correctly, then get the vehicle you`re trying to tow onto the flatbed, or raise one of its axles, depending on the type of truck, then drive off safely.
Sadly for this tow truck driver, the driving off safely part seems to be an issue, as his truck rolls away unattended, with a large SUV partially raised onto the bed, with its wheels angled to the left. It rolls off at slow speed, and the driver runs away after it, immediately, then manages to get aboard and stop it right in the nick of time!
Neither the truck, nor the vehicle it was towing/carrying suffered any damage, but this is thanks to the fact that the driver just managed to stop the truck just before it hit a tree - it did go over a curb rather quickly, and it shuddered a bit, but that should not have damaged in any lasting way. Still the driver was only correcting his own mistake of having left the truck in gear...
