I wouldn`t think a truck frame would bend like that.

If they came at it from a different angle or better yet, righted the truck first, then they could have gotten the truck out in one piece. It would still be totaled though.

i guess that would be an instance that a fully boxed frame would have came in handy....

They just folded it so it would be easier to put in the dumpster.

Seriously. I know that the truck was ruined anyway, but, "Hey, Moe!"

Honestly, what was the tow truck operator thinking? That he'd just flip it over, and it would land on the wheels and they'd drive it away?
I have to think the frame was damaged before this. Maybe when it went in the lake. I'd be very surprised that it'd just fold up like that, you can jack 'em up anywhere and not fold them in half!

It would have been much easier, and acheived the same result, if they would have just used explosives to get it out of the lake.

I wonder if it was one of the ones plagued by the rust problems to make the frame give up so quick..
