Portland's mayor Ted Wheeler proposing new rules to give owners a chance to avoid tow fees. Trying to recover a stolen car can be a nightmare for an owner, KOIN 6 News reports. On top of the trauma inflicted by the actual theft, owners of cars that are found are still on the hook to bail their vehicles out of towing company lots — and the fees can be steep. Lynda Drumm had her car stolen in August of 2018. The 1995 Honda Accord vanished from where it had been parked in front of her apartment in Hillsboro. Drumm, thinking her Honda was gone for good, ended up buying another used car. But she got a letter in Decemb…

Christian Gruber said it it’s just part of the job. In March, Gruber was headed southbound on Interstate 5 in his Roseburg Towing truck when he heard on the scanner about a wrong-way driver heading toward him. He activated his overhead lights and started slowing down and creating a serpentine pattern to slow down the cars behind him. He slowed to total stop at an angle in the middle of the road which stopped all of the traffic behind him. “To be blunt, I never considered the possibility she would hit me,” Gruber said. “I was in a big F-550 tow-truck and she was in a little Honda Civic.” Gruber said the police radioed in what h…

ROSEBURG, Ore. -- We're hearing from the man who deterred a wrong-way driver on Interstate 5 near Roseburg this week. Oregon State Police received a call reporting a wrong-way driver northbound in the southbound lanes near milepost 125. That's when Christian Gruber, a local driver with Roseburg Towing, sprung into action by blocking the exit. But he says he doesn't consider himself a hero. "If you're in a big vehicle and you have the ability to stop someone from causing an accident, I think that's just normal human reaction, to preserve yourself and others from harm." OSP says they were unable to locate the driver after they were re-directe…
