Racers in Illinois

If you are ever on I64 in IL. About the 67-68 mile marker there is a birdge going over a road and a set of RR tracks. If you look the Gaurd rail is still torn up to this day at least it was the last time I passed it. 2 years ago I was winching a car up onto my rollback when a guy on a cell phone ran off the right side of the road. He hit the car I was winching onto the truck so hard it put it through the headache rack of the roll back bed and the top of the cab of the truck then over the front and into the gaurdrail. Me and the guy that owned the car are lucky to be alive and uninjured. I decided right then that would be the last car I would tow as I have had way too many close calls when doing it . I put the check from the insurance co in the bank sold my other truck and now I call someone else to tow them in. Scared does not even come close to describing me that night. Too many stupid people for me to keep doing it.
