Photo Credit: Steve Johnson Recently published stories indicate that crime victims have gained a sympathetic ear with certain regulators at local and state levels regarding payment of towing and storage fees after a stolen vehicle is found. The argument goes that crime victims shouldn’t have to pay such fees. And in Oklahoma, for instance, the Legislature is weighing Senate Bill 256, which would eliminate tow storage charges for such crime victims – with the caveat that towing companies would be able to seek restitution or payment from the district attorney. If there’s one thing that gets tow company owners and operators riled up it’s the thought of nonpayment of ser…

TULSA — After 34 years, a program that helped drivers get back home safely is no longer being offered. AAA Oklahoma says they've discontinued the Tipsy Tow program. Over the holidays, a driver who had too much to drink could call a wrecker, who would offer a ride home, along with towing the vehicle. A spokesman tells us new ways of getting around led to pulling tipsy tow. "One of the reasons the program shutdown is because of the popularity of rideshare services like Lyft and Uber," AAA spokesperson Mark Madeja said. "People love the service and we love to see them use it." AAA officials say before you go out to a party…

OKLAHOMA CITY – A metro auto shop is a total loss following a fire early Wednesday morning. Oklahoma City fire crews responded to the fire just after 6 Wednesday morning at the corner of S.W. 41st and Roberson. "I'm glad the firefighters got out here and put it out before it got this main building,” said Hubert Sullivan, the owner of the building that caught fire. “I'm sorry for the guy who was renting the thing over there. He dealt in used cars and stuff.” "There was a nice car in there and my wrecker, but everything is just material. Everything can get fixed. No one was there,” said Luis Rueda, who was renting the space for the auto s…

OHP says 55-year-old Harry Welker was driving westbound in the outside lane, and for some unknown reason, left the roadway to the right and hit Taylor. Taylor was pronoun…
