How do I flip a car back over after an accident?

What's the best way to flip a car over? My son flipped his car while driving on a country road. I have a winch and a big truck, so I'm thinking of flipping it back over on my own.

“We hope everyone is okay! Although somewhat unadvisable, you can flip a car over using your winch and a cable.
Here’s how:
  • Run a cable through the car window and up over the roof.
  • Attach it to the winch.
  • Slowly pull the winch in until the car flips over.
But again, it’s recommended that you contact a professional, call roadside assistance, or use your
towing and labor coverage
on your
car insurance
policy to overturn a flipped car.
