Another tower down scenario is just a few days and is reported with very little details. A tow operator in South Carolina was killed this afternoon when he drifted from highway lanes into a parked Dodge vehicle on the shoulder of SC I-26 eastbound. The tow truck then went into the tree-line, struck a tree and the tow operator was ejected as he was not wearing a seatbelt. This is another (possibly) preventable scenario if the tower was wearing a seatbelt and wasn’t somehow distracted? The news narrative doesn’t mention whether or not a cellphone was an associated factor to the crash, but a newish Peterbilt typically won’t steer its way off the highway into a parked car. Ye…

Tow truck driver highlights "Move Over" law in wake of I-85 accident ANDERSON, SC (FOX Carolina) - Tow truck driver David Hatley points to an American flag with a yellow stripe. He explains that much like law enforcement and firefighters, tow truck drivers have a brotherhood. He said when one driver is hit, it resonates with every driver no matter the company. "You're terrified that you lost a tow brother. That's how he felt after he saw this," Hatley said. "These guys are competition during the day, but we're still a brotherhood."
