Lifting a car that rolled down a hill onto a flatbed!

Here is yet another vehicle over the side/down a hill recovery. Dispatch called this one in as a car that went 350 feet down a hill. We responded with our 75-ton rotator for the recovery and a flatbed for the transport. Upon arrival, we saw the vehicle made it all the way down the hill and was stopped by a gate. The logical choice was to just lift and swing it over the fence instead of wasting hours trying to rig it to winch back up the hill in the extreme heat.

Foundry hooks were used to lift the vehicle from the front with loops attached to the snatch blocks. Once the vehicle was airborne and over the fence, I backed up the flatbed parallel to the rotator so it can be set on my bed directly. Alternatively, we could have easily rolled it in the street to allow the flatbed to hook up to it, but this method was easier (and makes for a better video).

Unfortunately, the drone cache on my phone had an error which is why there is no sound for the last few minutes of aerial footage. I think the video came out great anyway, let me know what you guys think!
