Houston SUV tows car backwards

The footage, shot by a startled driver on a busy stretch of highway, shows a white SUV towing a sedan-but not in any conventional sense. Instead, the car is being dragged backwards, its rear bumper scraping the tarmac, as the SUV barrels down the road.

The bizarre scene unfolds in broad daylight, with other drivers giving the pair a wide berth and some even pulling out their phones to capture the spectacle. The towed vehicle’s hazard lights flash desperately, but it’s clear this is no ordinary roadside rescue. Sparks fly as metal meets asphalt, and the sedan’s front wheels wobble wildly, barely clinging to the road.

Social media users have been quick to weigh in, with reactions ranging from disbelief to outright hilarity. “Only in Texas,” one commenter quipped, while another joked, “That’s one way to save on a tow truck.” Others, however, expressed concern about the safety risks, noting that such improvised towing could easily lead to a serious accident.

Local authorities have yet to comment on the incident, but the video has already racked up hundreds of thousands of views and sparked a flurry of memes. For now, the mystery remains: what possessed the driver to attempt such a stunt, and-perhaps more importantly-did they make it to their destination in one piece?

In a city known for its big personalities and even bigger highways, this latest viral moment is a reminder that you never quite know what you’ll see on the road in Houston.
