BARRIE -- Hundreds of tow truck drivers from across the province united at the Innisfil ONroute, where a fellow driver crashed his truck on Monday.
The 21-year-old driver was airlifted to a Toronto hospital in life-threatening condition after the truck rolled over on the southbound 400.
Wasaga Beach resident, 28-year-old Sara Avila, was in the truck at the time of the crash. She says Devon, who was behind the wheel, told her truck drivers were "like a family."
"I didn't realize how much he meant they were like a family, but they're here, I'm happy they're here. I just wish he could be here to see them," says Avila.
"Whatever it is, we come together at times of need like this," says Taylor Sowerby, a tow truck operator out of Richmond Hill.
"People who don't even know him are showing up to show their support for a fellow driver."
Police say the 21-year-old wasn't wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and was thrown from the truck after losing control while changing lanes.

You have to think if all these vehicles are getting out of the country through our ports.
What is coming in through those same ports?
