@abc7chicago: The hair-raising moment a speeding firetruck almost smashed into a car in Canada was captured by dashcam footage on April 2. The footage, recorded by Jimmy Singh’s dashcam, shows the firetruck approach with its lights flashing. Singh and the other drivers move to get out of the way. However, a tow truck in the westbound lane does the opposite, veering in front of the firetruck. As the firetruck swerves to avoid the tow truck, it clips the rear bumper of the car in front of Singh and narrowly misses hitting Singh’s own car. “The fire captain in the firetruck thought they were going to flip and crush me,” Singh told Storyful. “They thought I was done for.”

The tow truck is at fault 100% for not yielding. But, the driver of the fire truck is also at fault because he or she was driving too fast for conditions and not using due regard

It seems as if the tow truck was going around the vehicle in the right lane, the fire truck was speeding so he may have not noticed because he was going around the car in front of him

This is in no way the fire trucks fault. That tow truck is at fault.

Why is it “a speeding fire truck” and not “a vehicle failing to yield to emergency services”?

Tow truck obviously didn’t see the speeding fire truck the is obviously driving way to fast for conditions. Never assume other vehicles see you coming

The tow truck legit jumped into the lane as the fire truck was going through the empty lane, they don’t stop on a dime

Fire truck is traveling way too fast for the conditions. You must operate with due regard for public safety at all times. Especially in inclement weather.

No emergency is worth making an emergency clearly bad road conditions firefighter for 22 years. If you become a problem, then it makes a problem.

Your right. Too fast for conditions. If he was driving slower and this happens I would have a different opinion on it… tow truck diver was wrong too

Red lights and siren are not a free pass to speed and endanger the public.

The title should be “tow truck intentionally violates the law and forces a responding fire truck into the oncoming lane”
