- Incredible Rescue - Car Crashes 250' Off Bridge! I never post fatals, and it's obvious that the driver lived. Believe it or not, very minor injuries! It's hard to see but as he went over and down the hill, the car got wedged and stuck, which prevented him from falling all the way down. Search and Rescue was on sight to extract the driver, then air lift him for safety. What an amazing job they did in conjunction with the FD and authorities on scene.
Once the driver was taken care of and the helicopter gone, Alex was tasked to retrieve the vehicle using Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator. Both lanes on this road were closed for hours already, so Alex made quick work on this one. After literally repelling down to the vehicle, he used two BA car straps that were already hoisted down to connect to the strongest parts of the car.
Once back at the top, it was just a matter of winching in and upright the car so he can set it directly onto the flatbed driven by Vicente. This made for a quick and easy car recovery and allowed CHP to open up the road and let everyone stuck finally get to their destination. So much can go wrong on these jobs, but happy everything went so well all things considered.
What did you guys think of Alex's solo recovery and the multi agency team effort to get the driver out back to safety?

Pepe's recovery videos are some of the best content on You Tube. Keeping them coming Josh!
I agree I think imp the best!
Awesome recovery Alex , it was also nice to to see all these first responder agencies working together
Bet you didn't see that coming when you started your shift. Alex, you're a rockstar.
BEST car fishing video EVER!!!! The best thing about this video is how well it shows dozens of people from multiple agencies working in perfect harmony to recover the driver and the car!! And then if all of that wasn't enough, dude runs out of gas and you just happened to be there to tow him to the gas station. Behind the recovered car. **PERFECT**!!!!
Glad the driver was ok. Alex did an Awesome job as always
That in and of it self is a minor miracle
The fact that the driver survived a 250 foot drop is a miracle in itself.
Unbelievable almost
Alex did a fantastic job. And Vicente too for that matter. It is hard to believe the man survived bouncing off the rocks. Great recovery and video. I want to add that the first responders were in top form too.
That was the best recovery that I have ever seen. Well done and kudos to all of the first responders.
I know it goes without sayin, but I have no doubt that y’all have the utmost respect from the law enforcement an emergency services community
At work yes, but like all American citizens privately, it only takes one cop like Zachary Wester to ruin their career with bogus charges or planted evidence.
It’s really humbling to see so many come together to save this man’s life. It’s a blessing he even survived that fall.
Great job Alex. Naration, video, rapelling down the hill. First time on the rope and calm as could be. I would guess that the trip down might of been a little bit white knukle. Enjoyed this very much. The LAFD SAR who helped Alex down was great. Agencies can pull together when it is needed. Thanks for posting Josh. I forgot to say how cool it was for Vincente to get the out of gas car to the gas station.
Josh one I'll tell you your very lucky to have Alex on your team his so kind so polite and most of all he's a professional again your lucky to have him, what a recovery, great team work, love your videos Josh 👏👏👍
That was insane... coming from the standpoint of an Eagle Scout who hung from more than one rope during his teen years, very very few would attempt a decent like that in full daylight.
Mad props to all of you doing it in the dead of night. Amazing job!
How on earth the driver survived that is a real testament to the safety designs in modern cars. I doubt there is a single salvageable piece of that Fiesta.
I've never seen a rescue hoist on the back of a fire truck like that. Pretty cool piece of gear.
You deserve a medal for that Alex! 🥇A hard enough job in broad daylight, but at night??? Wow!😰 Abseiling in the dark! Vicente to the rescue too! 👍
I loved the conversation between you and the climb guy (cant think of a better title) about your shared experience with rope/cable and just professional discussion on load limits/ratios.
Man, if you could get that rotator safety certified for lifting people its reach and rotation would have the rescue teams calling you alot I bet. And you could lower someone to hook a car with it.
Alex you got a bit of rock climbing in this recovery. That was a very lucky driver. Thanks to the rescue squad for their help too. Great job Alex.
Good to see Fire & Rescue partner with Alex on Cliff climb. Good community service given to driver who ran out of gasoline on wait time - gave him a 'Lift' to gas station
I don't know what Alex is getting piad, but it's not enough! Awsome job as always!
Mr Josh You guys get the craziest recoveries every week. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Perks of being in Los Angeles. We see all the crazy 😂
Another rotator coming to the fleet😮. You guys are killing it🤟🏾
Hulk 2.0 ☠️
@danieldeen1770 me of course
Will Hulk 2.0 be another 50 ton or will it be 75 ton ???
She-Hulk!
@@desertrat8322Alex said in the video, 50ton
Interesting hearing you two trading information back and forth on the way down the cliff side. We know about your gear. 18 ton shackle. Platinum Slings, etc.. Hey, what's the working range on that rope, 5 to 1? Nope 15x Wow.
Good video showing two sides of rescue/recovery work coming together.
Nothing like a little shop talk on the way down the 250 foot cliff. Excellent and as usual interesting recovery.
Nice job Alex first time rock climbing 👊. Josh would probably have been like hook me up to hulk I’ll lower myself down 😂 and use an auxiliary to bring me back up just like that one video.
Impressive recovery. That is going above and beyond. Had no idea you would have to go down there and get it. Great job!
Alex, that was very brave of you to repel down to the wreck when you had no training. Now you have a new skill! But my ancient heart was in my mouth the whole time.
Agree, awesome recovery. Great help from the rescuers to get down.
WOW! that was insane. The teamwork was awesome. Again a masterclass in recovery and rescue! Great Job to all involved! #pepe'srocksAGAIN
What a great recovery, the drone footage was very good too! I hold a part 107 UAV Certificate. So the drone footage meant a lot me. No buzzing around rock solid. 😁🛫
I sure hope Alex gets a Sherpa bonus for his climbing skills! That car also deserves a kudo for saving that guy! Another fantastic recovery for Pepe's! Thanks!
INCREDIBLE to say the very least. Talk about cool, calm, and collected under pressure!!!! Whow. INCREDIBLE 100 times over. Amazing Grace in pure in action.
Well Alex & Vicente !! Great recovery on both ends !!! 1st the recovery & then the good act of taking the car out of gas to the gas station !! Glad ALL workout with the driver !! 👍👍👍👍👍
One of the Best in the US. Great drone filming. Keep doing your professionalism and keep safe out there
I have been reading comments. Amazing what you can do if you are retired and bored. They remind me of the Holiday Inn Express commercials. "Have you ever operated a rotator?" "NO, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night."
Great job Alex and Vicente!
Alex your the man! Great job!
Wow, that was crazy. Repelling down to the wreckage. Better get more danger pay for that job..
Alex awesome recovery! That was a long ways down! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
This channel and Ron Pratt are two good tow truck channels
WOW! Your work blows me away. Much needed service and well executed. Be save out there.
Man what a recovery in impressed with the Fiesta surviving that kind of fall.
Looked to me like a Bud Light can. Who the heck drinks Bud Light these days? Good job Alex...great video!
Another excellent video, can’t wait for the next. Thumbs up 👍 for the Pepe’s crew.
There are some experiences you can't pay enough money to have! Cool Vid!
Hey Alex great video! I subscribed a month ago. I towed for 5 years, so I've been also watching other towing channels. I like Ron Pratt. I also miss towing. On another note, send this to the white house, supposedly there is a president, and Gavin. I didn't see a electric tow truck, fire truck, ambulance, police, or a helicopter. All diesel. I have a diesel truck, but now I have to sell it. Peace ✌️
"I keep saying this" pepe the best in Cali, the first responders rather call pepe for any recoveries because the quality of safety and mastery shows.
Okay that was cool, great job Alex. A little bit of everything in this one.
Nice job!!!
Miracle that he survived this.
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Wouldn't be a bad idea to get some ropes training in with all the recovery guys
What an amazing recovery. Alex did a great job on this recovery.
Another major recovery for Pepes...stay safe
The SAR guy was so wonderfully calm and patient, and explained everything clearly when going down the cliff to the vehicle.
Alex and to whom it may concern. Y’all are one in a million. Great Skills, Great Courage. I tip my hat off to You Guys. 😮😮😅 Dangerous Job. Y’all wear it well. They would have had to put me in that Helicopter. Thanks a million. 😅😅😅😊
Another awesome performance 🤓🙋♂️👍
Well done Alex, huge balls for doing that one, great job Team Pepe's Towing and the video was amazing!
Fantastic job
PEPES LOS MEJORES, NO ME PIERDO SUS VIDEOS, SALUDOS DESDE ENSENADA B.C. MEXICO!
Your a better man than me going down there. God job man. 🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌
Ahha! Been over that highway a few times. Tough Terrien. Nice shot of L.A. and San Fernando Valley at night. Another great job by your Towman in action!!!
Good job!!
Absolutely fantastic job. Love the car recovery and the excellent cooperation with the fire & rescue services. Best wishes from a fire-fighter 🚒 in Australia 🇦🇺 Please keep up your great videos.
Awsome video and great job.
We're so used to and take for granted the resources we have. Look at all the different jobs that perfect their own craft come together and complete a common mission. From the firefighters rescuing the patient, the helicopter crew coming in and taking the patient to the hospital, Mr Josh and his crew recovering the car, and the State Patrol assisting with traffic and doing their investigstion. All the different pieces that came together that made a great puzzle. The only negative thing i seen in this video was a man being seriously injured, and it sucks that, that had to happen for this masterpiece to be displayed. To everyone in this video, thank you for what you do. It was a pleasure to watch.
thats a wild one, awesome editing though great footage!
Great job!!!
amazing job alex
Great job Alex Pepe' s towing is the best 🙏💯
Great job Alex like when you expand what going on 💯💪
This is my favorite video y'all have put out. I'm a former arborist and an avid climber (rock, trees, caves) and would've loved to have been in on this. Thanks for having us along. I think it's pretty funny that they just put you on a prusik tied to the main line and lowered y'all down at once. Again, great video!
Alex and first responders did an awesome 👍 job
Great job Alex !
Another amazing recovery job. Alex is defo a superstar full of humour too.
What an incredible job you guys perform. Above and beyond the call. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Wow that was beautiful amazing job Alex well done say hello to 1:01:44 papi chulo JOE ❤🌹💋
"You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!" famous line of the movie Gunga Din...
excellent job
Wow, what an awesome job. I love the drone footage of the truck on the bridge surrounded by the black abyss.
I've seen all your videos, and all of them are very well done, this one in the dark, was OMG scary . Well done everyone! You never fail to impress!
I am normally a silent viewer but had to comment that is was a very amazing recovery. You repealed like a champ. That man is very lucky to be alive.
Alex is our favorite. Hes a damned hard worker and a good decent guy! We always look for his videos, first.
Awesome recovery!! Guy is lucky to be alive after that.
Outstanding work you guys rock can’t wait to see the new rotator😊😊
Coolest recovery yet. Great job Alex
Incredible Rescue, & Incredible Video You ROCK DUDE ☆☆☆☆☆
👍👍👍👍👍!!!!!🙂
Awesome recovery But the most important thing is that the driver lived great job to everyone involved
Great video Alex! Nice.
Great video I would have figured big flipper to have had harness in her every wrecker I ever run had harness in them guess maybe California different I don't know anyways great video guys
I hope the driver was okay. Amazing job man much respect to you
Josh, it is not being cocky to be proud of your work ... I agree with you 💯‼️ 🎯🎯
There’s cars that have been totaled and then there’s been cars that are Totaled! That car’s toast. 😢😮😮
Great job Alex! You got really good video coverage of this one.
Awesome video. Pepe towing 👍
Great job as usual. I wonder why the rescue people didn't use your boom to lift the injured party to the surface. You must have their smaller system beat in load limit.
Alex did a wonderful job! Great team work all around-nice to see!
(ooOOoo Tiller firetruck!)
I already thought y'all were supermen, but this one was scary. That was a LONG drop!
Wow!
Fantastic job!!
Nice job Alex.
Awesome video! Awesome skills and courage!!
