Tow truck needed for tow truck

[47of74]

If you look up bad day in the dictionary I think you'll find this;

A tow truck tipped trying to clear a semi from Highway 18, forcing part of that highway to be shut down for hours.

It happened near Mason City on Wednesday.

The Iowa State Patrol says a semi hauling candy caught fire. Firefighters put it out, but then a tow truck, called in to clear the scene, tipped.

Authorities say another, larger tow truck was then needed to help.
