whoever messed the car up should pay for it

(it's a cheap education for the tow driver)

The question is : Who messed it up?

If the tow driver was negligent, yes. If he truly could not pull it out with
no risk of damage, no, the kid should pay.

We did not see the car or how it was in the ditch. None of us can pass
judgment not having seen the circumstances. Perhaps a crane or helicopter
was needed to avoid damage. We just don't know.
