According to a complaint sworn out by Elizabeth Strickland, a Drug Enforcement Administration task force officer, Ira Bernarg Rivers was behind the wheel of a tow truck with Florida registration, towing a Lincoln LS from Jacksonville, Fla., which Rivers told law enforcement he was taking to someone waiting for him at a Richmond, Va., …

SUMTER COUNTY, Ga (WRBL) - Most states including Georgia have a move over law that requires drivers to slow down and move over a lane when approaching emergency vehicles on the shoulder of the road. While the law may be there, awareness of it is often lacking. But one Americus tow truck operator is working to change that. Curt Peacock, a fourth-generation manager and truck operator at his family-owned Peacock Towing in Americus is on a mission to save lives. "Seventy-percent of the country doesn't know about the move over law. So if we can get the word out there and save some lives, it's all been worth it," Peacock said. Peacock Towing hosted…
