Operator of MV1, David Donahue of Tody's Towing, was dispatched to 256 Parker Street at the request by me to tow a pick up truck that was obstructing traffic. While he was on scene and loading up the pick up truck on the rear of the flat bed of MV1, operator of MV2 was attempting to drive around the tow truck. MV2 struck the driver side wheel area of the flat bed tow truck. Operator of MV2 stated he was unaware his steering wheel was turned all the way to the right when he stepped on the gas. This caused him to turn into the tow truck. MV1 had damage to the drivers side and wheel and MV2 had sustained damage to his passenger side. It should be noted that it appears that MV2 already had previous damage to the same area as duct tape was observed in the area that struck MV1. Neither party was injured and neither required a tow from the scene.
