Over the years we’ve shown you plenty of tow truck-related fails but we think this one takes the cake.

The tow truck driver pulling the brown passenger car passes a security gate but obviously doesn’t take into consideration the fact that there is a considerable distance between the two. As a result, the automated system sends a signal to extend the safety barriers right after the van goes through hoisting the car into the air.

Judging by the “The AA” decals on the van pulling the vehicle, the incident most likely took place in Britain.
