There was a case where a jackknifed truck blocked an entire intersection. The driver lost control on a slippery road. As a result, ambulances couldn't get through to reach a person in critical condition at a nearby hospital. People were panicking, trying to find a way to move the truck or at least make a path for the emergency vehicles. It was a real nightmare situation.
Bad weather is a common cause. For example, icy roads can make it difficult for the truck to maintain control and it may jackknife. Rain can also reduce traction.

There are also horror stories where the tow truck's equipment fails while towing a car. For instance, the tow chain or cable breaks and the car being towed is left in a dangerous position, like in the middle of a busy road.

And if there is any damage to the car due to this equipment failure, the towing company may try to avoid liability by making up excuses.
