Atlanta RO Flips Benz Off Rollback (Video)
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – On May 5, the owner of a Mercedes SUV pulled into the parking lot of a Conyers title pawn shop. Employees later told police the man wanted to apply for a loan, but it was too late to do so.
Coincidentally, a tow truck pulled into the shop’s parking lot, and its driver would later tell Atlanta News First Investigates he had paperwork to repossess the SUV. While the driver was inside the shop, the tow truck driver blocked him in and lowered the ramp to hook up the car.
Witnesses later said when the driver saw what was happening, he returned to the vehicle, got inside and tried to leave. In a cellphone video released by one of a title pawn employee, the tow truck driver is seen talking to the driver through the passenger window.
The driver told police he was asking for the vehicle’s keys. About a minute later, the driver attempted to back up; by this time, the tow truck driver had opened the door and jumped in the SUV as it went up the tow truck ramp and flipped onto the passenger side.
The tow truck driver was nearly crushed but walked away.
