This isn’t our usual before-and-after. Crash trucks are designed to take a hit—putting a protective barrier between passing traffic and the men and women working just feet away. The footage in this video gives you a glimpse of just how much of a beating these specialized vehicles can take while doing that job.

When a crash truck does take the hit, it may have helped prevent a much more serious outcome. But eventually, the vehicle built to protect everyone else needs some help of its own.

That’s where the heavy-duty collision team at Elizabeth Truck Center comes in. From crash trucks and other specialized vehicles to fire apparatus and commercial trucks, our team has the experience and capabilities to tackle repairs that are anything but ordinary.

Check out the video here to see why crash trucks are so important on our roadways—and this one back in shape after its repairs at ETC.

Unique vehicle. Important job. Specialized repair.
