Pepe’s Towing Service, a well-known towing and recovery company in Southern California, was dispatched to an unusual call involving a 4Runner. As the sun was setting over the Los Angeles city skyline, the driver drove off the same hill the Hollywood sign is mounted on.

Due to the nature of the crash, the driver dispatched for the job couldn’t drive a normal flatbed truck. Instead, he had to use a crane attached to a semi-truck to fish the 4Runner out.

If you’ve never been to Los Angeles, particularly in the affluent neighborhood that resides near the sign, the streets are very narrow with plenty of blind corners. Watching Pepe’s driver navigate the streets leading up to the sign while dealing with impatient drivers is not for the faint of heart.

“Short and to the point, the hardest part about this job definitely was the drive up to the scene,” the driver wrote in the video’s caption. “These hills weren’t built with big trucks this big in mind so navigating them was extremely tedious.”

When the truck arrived at the scene, the 4Runner was buried in the brush near the sign. The decline of the landscape was so severe, that the truck driver had to put a chain through the 4Runner’s aftermarket steel bumper and lift it with a crane. Otherwise, the chain could get snagged and snap on the hill.

Once the 4Runner was lifted from the brush, the driver carefully attached four towing straps to level the truck out and place it on the back of a flatbed truck. From there the truck was transported back to their lot for the driver’s insurance company to inspect.

Commenters gave their compliments to the driver

“Hats off to the driver of that behemoth of a truck through those hills,” wrote a commenter, earning 109 thumbs up.

Another said trying to drive through those hills seems hellish.

“Driving up those narrow streets looks like some kind of torture,” wrote another commenter. “Merry Christmas to you and yours.”

Someone else with experience in the area noted the difficulty of those roads.

“I used to live up there and drove a large Suburban, which was a pain on those roads. You drove phenomenally and it was cool to watch from your perspective,” they wrote.
