Don't looks too bad. Write it up as part of the accident. Car's gonna be totalled anyways.

Physics doesn't work that way

Worse yet.. he's towing an AWD with a wheel lift

That sounds more like a dispatcher issue or maybe an idiot who called for the tow truck and failed to relay that they had an AWD car. Based on the position of the car and the condition of the street/weather (dry/sunny), I'm blaming the owner.

Looks like he has wheel chucks(chucks isnt the right term, but those wheel dollies) to put under the front wheels...

Looks like the car was side swiped (or the driver door was damaged prior to the crash).
That car doesn't matter how it was towed, it's fvcked.

Otherwise awd = flat bed or all 4 on the road.
