  2. How a Stonycreek Twp. automotive business was destroyed by fire early Saturday morning STONYCREEK TWP. ― Robert Hauger of Stoystown planned to retire and turn over his 50-year-old automotive sales, towing and repair business to his son sometime this year. Now the family is left to decide what to do next after a fire destroyed the business early Saturday. Hauger Automotive Services LLC in the 1500 block of Lambertsville Road, Stoystown, Stonycreek Township, is considered a total loss, said Shanksville Deputy Chief John Abramowich. The state police fire marshal was called but because of the extent of the damage, the cause of the fire is undetermined, he said. Fire departments from Shanksville, Central City, Stoystown, Berlin, Listie, Friedens, Hooversville, Sipesville and Somerset and Berlin EMS were called to the 2:30 a.m. commercial garage fire. The county's Hazardous Materials Response Team was also dispatched. Awakened by the fire alarm Robert Hauger said he and his wife, Laura, were awakened early Saturday by the sound of what they thought was their landline telephone or his cell phone beeping. The Haugers' home is next door to the garage, and Robert said he keeps his cell phone next to the bed in case he receives a call for towing. They soon realized that what they were hearing was actually the garage's fire alarm. "My wife woke up, and it sounded like a telephone was off the hook," he said. "We looked out (the bedroom window) and saw the flames coming up through the (garage) roof." Hauger said there were seven vehicles parked in the garage at the time, including several customer vehicles and his rollback tow truck. The vehicles that were being worked on had been sitting in the garage all week, he added. "We weren't welding or cutting or anything, just nuts and bolts, that type of stuff," Hauger said. 'Defensive from the get-go' Tanker trucks shuttled back and forth from Shanksville to bring water to the site; in total, 140,000 gallons of water were used to put out the fire, Laura Hauger said. "It was fully involved with the fire going through the roof when we got there," Abramowich said. "The owner's residence is next door and the fire alarms woke them up. There were six or seven vehicles inside the structure. They hold a lot of heat and form an umbrella situation, which contributed to the difficulty in extinguishing the fire. We also had some wind. The fire (fight) was defensive from the get-go." Abramowich said Somerset County Emergency Management Agency Director Joel Landis and representatives of the state Department of Environmental Protection were called to the scene because the structure is beside a river. Various paint thinners and chemicals used in auto body work were a concern for contaminating the river, he said. "Everything was fine. There is no contamination," Abramowich said. Knockdown was reported at 4 a.m., but the fire departments did not clear the scene until 7 a.m. An excavator was called to the scene to pull the debris apart, Abramowich said. He said no injuries were reported. 'I'm hoping we can rebuild' "They did a great job; it was just too far out of control to save everything," Robert Hauger said. "The flames were already up through the roof, and once it gets in the rafters, you're done. It just goes the whole way through the building." Their next steps will take some time to work through since the business's computer was destroyed in the fire as well, Hauger said. He was also thinking about the four employees the fire put out of work. "We're going to have to see how the finances work out with the coverage of the insurance and everything," Hauger said. "My son was going to take over the business this coming year, I was going to retire out. It's going to be kind of helping (him make) his decision, what he wants to do. My concern is (for) my employees. "I'm hoping we can rebuild. We thank everybody for their prayers, praying for us." Abramowich said the loss of the business was also deeply felt by the responding fire company members. "It was very emotional for the owners. The business has been a staple for the community for as long as I've been here," Abramowich said. "We're really sad to see that go." He added his appreciation for all the mutual aid departments' help in battling the blaze. RESOURCE LINK
  3. How Wyatts Towing allegedly circumvented Colorado’s new towing law — and why legislators are pushing for further reform On the morning of Oct. 19, Wyatts Towing removed a 2016 silver Honda Civic from the parking lot of a gated Broomfield apartment complex for an alleged permit violation. The vehicle’s owner said Wyatts towed the car improperly and filed a complaint with the Public Utilities Commission, which regulates the Colorado towing industry. An emailed authorization for the tow appeared to have come from the property’s manager, complete with the person’s name and job title on the apartment complex’s letterhead. But a PUC investigation found the company set up an email account for the property that Wyatts could access and use to approve tows on its own behalf — an act that goes against state law. “This subterfuge was just plain wrong from the start,” the PUC investigator, Stephen Seeger, wrote to Wyatts. Since the company makes money from these private-property tows, he continued, “the argument could be made that this amounted to criminal fraud.” The tow documented in PUC records was a single event at a single apartment complex. Wyatts’ attorney forcefully denied to The Denver Post that the company ever instituted this email practice, though a Wyatts representative didn’t deny the allegations in emails with the PUC. But the October case represents to consumer advocates and lawmakers why the state needs more stringent guardrails on what they have called systemic predatory towing in Colorado. HB24-1051, introduced this legislative session, would outlaw property owners from using automated emails to authorize tows. The bill also would mandate that the authorizing party must be a property owner or someone from a rent-collecting third party — banning parking management companies from doing this on the tower’s behalf. The bill, as introduced, sought to tackle what lawmakers and consumer advocates said was an economic incentive for towers to haul away as many cars as possible. They wanted to shift the entire landscape of residential towing by making property owners pay for tows rather than vehicle owners. But amid heavy lobbying from the Colorado Apartment Association, one of the state’s most powerful industry groups, legislators have watered down the meat of the bill, eliminating property owners’ financial responsibility. “They don’t listen up there on (Capitol Hill), they just don’t listen,” said John Connolly, president of the Towing & Recovery Professionals of Colorado, a trade group representing the state’s towing operators, who supported the planned shift in financial responsibility and helped drive this year’s bill. “When you get them under the fire, they buckle.” “Clearly designed to be deceptive” When lawmakers and consumer advocates have spoken publicly about the flaws in Colorado towing law, they’ve made not-so-subtle references to one operator in particular: Wyatts Towing. The company’s owners have cornered the market on every step of the towing process, The Post reported last year. The same people who sell residents permits to park in their apartment complex lots also tow vehicles and can sell those cars at auction if owners can’t afford the fees to retrieve them. In 2022, legislators passed HB22-1314, a landmark bill that was supposed to tilt the balance of power back to vehicle owners and away from towing carriers. The law, among myriad other changes, forbids towers from authorizing their own tows. Previously, tow truck drivers could approve tows themselves. The Colorado attorney general, following a yearlong investigation, last year found Wyatts — despite the new law — still allowed its drivers to authorize tows on residential properties for a roughly five-week span in August and September 2022. Wyatts agreed to a $1 million settlement after the AG found “numerous violations of state laws.” But the alleged email scheme in October outlined in the PUC investigation suggests Wyatts continued the practice of approving the company’s own tows. On Jan. 10, a community manager for the Arista Flats apartment complex in Broomfield told a PUC investigator that she did not recall authorizing the tow at the heart of the state’s probe. She told investigators that she had discussed with a Wyatts representative that the apartment complex was not staffed overnight. The towing rep, she said, asked her to set up an email account that Wyatts could access and use to approve tows, the woman said, according to PUC documents. A few weeks later, Wyatts decided it could not continue with this email authorization and stopped the practice, the PUC investigation found. Still, the scheme represented an “egregious violation” that was “clearly designed to be deceptive,” investigators wrote. “To be clear, this ‘program’ was designed simply to disguise self-authorized tows by Wyatts’ employees,” Seeger, the state investigator, wrote in an email to the company. Despite raising the criminal fraud allegations, the PUC fined Wyatts just $258.75. The Wyatts representative, Matt Phillips, did not deny the email authorization practice in a response to the PUC, only saying he appreciated the explanation for the fine and that the company would comply with the 2022 law. But Wyatts’ attorney, Jason Dunn, called the fake email allegations by the PUC “a complete fabrication.” He told The Post in a text message that the property manager used an automated email response from their regular work email since many tows occur in the middle of the night — a practice the company has since learned is not a valid form of authorization. He strongly denied Wyatts had access to an apartment complex’s email account. “Wyatts did not challenge that conclusion, paid the reduced penalty, and has since advised all property managers that automated authorizations will not be accepted,” Dunn said. Zach Neumann, executive director of the Community Economic Defense Project, which authored a report on Wyatts’ vertical integration, said the case “reinforces all the concerns we’ve had about their business structure.” “If you make money from towing you shouldn’t be able to direct tows, because within that structure you have an incentive to take people’s cars improperly,” Neumann said. “It looks like that’s exactly what they were doing.” “Nobody wants to pay for it” Bill sponsors this session, in conjunction with the state’s towing association group, wanted to tackle what they called a skewed incentive structure. Led by Rep. Andrew Boesenecker, a Fort Collins Democrat, the legislators introduced a radical proposal that would have fundamentally changed the way towing is conducted in the state. The drafted bill said, in most cases, private property owners would pay for tows from their lots — not the owners of the vehicles. This way, they argued, property owners would be far less inclined to call in tows unless they had an urgent need. “The attorney general has done his job,” Boesenecker said in a Feb. 6 legislative committee hearing. “Now it’s time for the legislature to do ours.” But the Colorado Apartment Association and other property owners forcefully opposed this change, arguing the increased costs would be passed on to tenants, leading to higher rents. The legislation, the critics argued, would also lead to more unauthorized parking in permitted spaces. “It’s inviting parking anarchy,” Ed Schoenheit, president of a homeowners association in Colorado Springs, told the committee members. Bill sponsors feared the industry group’s opposition would prevent the law’s passage as written. As a result, amendments set to be introduced Monday have carved out the property owners’ role in towing payments entirely. In exchange for these concessions, the apartment association agreed to take a neutral stance on the bill. Lawmakers wanted to scrap the entire towing system and start over. Instead, some of the financial incentives that drive predatory towing will remain in place. “I gave them the path,” said Connolly, the towing association president who pushed for the drastic law change. “If they choose not to take it, I don’t know what to say. I’m only one man fighting the battle. No one listens to reason. No one wants to make the hard decision. Nobody wants to pay for it.” RESOURCE LINK
  4. WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWTI) – New York State is reminding drivers of the expanded “Move Over” law that’s going onto the books at the end of the month. Governor Kathy Hochul today reminded drivers that the rule will soon be expanded to include all vehicles which will improve highway safety for everyone. Starting March 27, drivers will be required to take precautions, including slowing down and moving over, to avoid a crash with all vehicles stopped along the roadway. "The expansion of New York’s Move Over Law to include disabled and stopped vehicles in the roadway is critical to achieving the goal of eliminating fatalities on the roadways. With 37 individuals killed outside of disable vehicles on New York’s roadways from 2016 – 2020, Governor Hochul’s actions to expand the Move Over law will fundamentally save lives by putting safety first." In the years between 2016 to 2020, 37 individuals were killed outside disabled vehicles in New York. Nationally, nearly 300 drivers are struck and killed roadside every year. The Move Over Law was enacted to prevent those tragedies and make New York’s roadways safer for all. The law first became effective in 2010 to prevent collisions with emergency vehicles that were stopped on the roadway. The law has been expanded several times to also cover hazard vehicles, highway worker vehicles, and tow trucks. In 2023, Governor Hochul signed a bill to further strengthen the law by including this protection for all vehicles stopped on the roadway. Also today, the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee launched a public awareness campaign using radio, social media and other out-of-home elements to remind people they will need to “Slow Down, Move Over” as best they can when they come upon someone stopped on the side of the road or in a driving lane. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, all 50 states have “Move Over” laws to protect law enforcement officers and other first responders, yet one-third of Americans are not aware of these laws.

  8. One killed in crash on I-20 and Cedar Ridge in Duncanville, officials say DUNCANVILLE, Texas — One person was killed in a crash at Eastbound I-20 at Cedar Ridge Drive in Duncanville Wednesday afternoon. The crash involved a FedEx truck with two trailers, a flatbed tow truck with a vehicle on it and a white sedan, officials said. Two wreckers were on the right shoulder of the highway preparing to tow a car when the FedEx truck started to pass a car in the right lane and hit the wreckers and car, causing the tow truck drivers to be pinned under the wreckage, officials say. One person was pronounced dead at the scene and another was taken to a hospital by CareFlite. No one else was injured. Multiple fire crews, EMS and law enforcement were still at the scene of the crash around 2 p.m. FedEx issued a statement to WFAA following the accident. “Our thoughts are with all of those involved in this tragic accident, and we extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends who are mourning a loved one lost. Safety is our highest priority, and we are cooperating fully with the investigating authorities at this time.” This is a developing story. WFAA will update this story as more information becomes available. RESOURCE LINK Tragedy Strikes on I-20: Tow Operator Killed in FedEx Truck Collision In a tragic turn of events, a towing operation on I-20 in Duncanville, Texas, led to the death of Oscar Merchan Contreras, a dedicated tow operator. As investigators search for answers, the community is left to reflect on the dangers faced by tow operators and first responders. In the blink of an eye, a routine towing operation turned into a scene of tragedy on I-20 near Cedar Ridge Drive in Duncanville, Texas, last Wednesday. Oscar Merchan Contreras, a 44-year-old tow operator, lost his life in a devastating collision involving a FedEx truck hauling double trailers. Another tow operator was airlifted to the hospital with serious injuries. A Day of Tragedy Unfolds on the Shoulder of I-20 On February 7, 2024, around 1:00 p.m., two tow operators were working diligently on the right shoulder of the eastbound lane of I-20. Their mission was simple: to tow a vehicle that had come to an unfortunate halt. However, fate had something else in store for them that fateful day. As the two men went about their task, a FedEx 18-wheeler, its double trailers stretching along the asphalt, attempted to overtake another vehicle in the right lane. In a cruel twist of fate, the massive truck collided with the tow trucks and the vehicle they were servicing. The force of the impact was immense, and the consequences were dire. A Life Lost and Another Forever Changed Oscar Merchan Contreras, a dedicated tow operator with a passion for helping others, was tragically killed in the collision. He was pronounced dead at the scene, leaving behind a void that will never be filled. His partner, though injured, survived the incident and was airlifted to the hospital for medical attention. The Dallas County Sheriff's Office reported that neither drugs nor alcohol are believed to have played a role in the crash. No charges have been filed as of now, and the investigation into the accident is ongoing. Searching for Answers in the Wake of Tragedy As the sun set on that fateful day, loved ones, colleagues, and the Duncanville community were left to grapple with the aftermath of the tragedy. Questions loom large in the minds of those affected: What led to this devastating crash? Could it have been prevented? And, most importantly, how can such incidents be avoided in the future? The loss of Oscar Merchan Contreras serves as a stark reminder of the inherent dangers faced by tow operators and other first responders who work tirelessly to keep our roads safe. Their commitment to service, often carried out under challenging and hazardous conditions, deserves our utmost respect and gratitude. As investigators continue to piece together the events leading up to the collision, the memory of Oscar Merchan Contreras will live on in the hearts of those who knew him, and in the countless lives he touched through his selfless work. In the wake of this tragedy, let us all take a moment to remember the vital role that tow operators and first responders play in our communities. Their dedication and sacrifice should never be taken for granted. The events that unfolded on I-20 in Duncanville, Texas, last Wednesday serve as a somber reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of vigilance on our roads. As we move forward, may the memory of Oscar Merchan Contreras inspire us all to strive for safer roads and a deeper appreciation for those who work to protect us. RESOURCE LINK

  11. On December 12th, a Nation Recovery agent was shot and killed in California. On December 13th, a B&S Collateral Recovery camera car driver was shot and killed and the accompanying repossession agent seriously wounded and hospitalized by gunfire in an upscale Alabama neighborhood. This marks two recovery agents murdered in two days and seven recovery agents murdered in the last six months. As an industry, we’re grieving – for the loss of life, for the loved ones they leave behind, but also for the state of our industry. Our agents and our staff are in more danger than ever. We go to bed each night praying, wondering if our staff will be alive the next day. This isn’t and shouldn’t be normal. President Roosevelt once said, “Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind.” It’s time to take action. What would it look like for our industry to stop waiting solely for our lobbyist, our government, our councilmen, our lenders, or even our associations to take action? What would it look like if ALL associations across the country put aside any biases they have towards other associations, forwarders, lenders… and decided to take action? Our recovery agents need body cameras and body armor to protect them and serve as a deterrent. Police officers wear them for a reason, and they statistically are proven to save lives. What if we worked to ensure every recovery company in the nation had body cameras and body armor for their staff? Yes, they are extremely costly, and most recovery companies cannot afford them. What if we started a fund for ANY recovery company who cannot financially afford to purchase this equipment to have access to body cameras and body armor? What if…? If you’re the head of a recovery company, recovery association, lending or forwarding company, it's time to come together and have a meeting of the minds to make this happen. It’s literally a matter of life and death. Let’s start with a Zoom call in January, and plan to meet in person in Q1. Let’s make 2024 the year we make changes that will impact the safety and well-being of every person who works in the recovery industry. Let’s make it the year where we have no causalities in the recovery industry. Please email me at vaughn@houstonrepo.com or call me at (972) 877-1130, if you’d like to be part of this movement for change.

  12. 1 dead, 8 injured in fiery pileup wreck on Loop 375 in far East El Paso A 28-year-old man was killed in a nine-vehicle crash caused by the driver of a heavy tow truck who was unable to avoid striking a vehicle in front of him as traffic slowed on a far East El Paso highway, authorities said. The driver of the gray Peterbilt heavy tow truck was traveling on Loop 375 North between Pebble Hills and Edgemere boulevards near Montana Avenue about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8, when traffic began to slow down on the highway, El Paso Police Department officials said. Seven of the vehicles in the crash caught fire. As traffic slowed, the driver swerve to avoid hitting a Ford Edge in front of him, but was unable to avoid the collision. The crash then caused a chain reaction with the Ford Edge being pushed into a Dodge Charger that was then pushed into a Honda Accord, officials said. The Ford Edge caught fire. The crash caused the vehicle to be redirected and it struck a Ford Ranger, officials said. The drivers of four vehicles — a Toyota Camry, Pontiac G5, Hyundai Tucson and Hyundai Elantra — all attempted to avoid the crash but were unsuccessful. The Honda Accord driver, a 28-year-old man, died at the scene of the crash. His name was not released. The eight other drivers involved in the wreck were taken to hospitals for treatment. One of the drivers suffered severe injuries, El Paso Fire Department officials said. The seven others sustained "minor to moderate" injuries, fire officials said. No further information was released. Loop 375 was shut down for hours because of the crash but was reopened early Thursday morning. RESOURCE LINK

  16. ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - A St. Louis man who police say is the owner of a towing company is facing felony kidnapping and assault charges after allegedly attacking a homeless man in an incident over a missing truck. St. Louis Circuit attorneys on Tuesday charged 26-year-old Keith Maurice Isabell Jr. with counts of first-degree kidnapping, first-degree assault and fourth-degree assault in the Oct. 4 incident near the intersection of South First and Gratiot streets. According to charging documents, Isabell and three other people, who were not identified in the affidavit, were searching the area near the incident for a tow truck. The victim, a homeless man, told Isabell he saw the truck and took them to where he saw the vehicle. When they arrived at the location the victim said he saw the vehicle, the truck was not there. Isabell is then seen on video surveillance dragging the victim by his shirt while the others follow. One of the men is seen on video carrying a rifle, police said in charging documents. Isabell and the others allegedly drug the victim back to a nearby homeless encampment where they assaulted the victim and another homeless person. The second victim was shot in the buttocks, allegedly by the unidentified suspect carrying the rifle. Isabell later in the evening returned to the scene again looking for the truck and again assaulted the victim, punching him in the face, according to charging documents. Isabell is currently held in the St. Louis City Justice Center without the possibility of bond. Charging documents do not state what towing company he allegedly owns. A search for Isabell on the Missouri Secretary of State business lookup yielded no results. RESOURCE LINK
  17. Tesla catches fire in Fresno towing company, firefighters say FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – A Tesla brought for repairs caught fire and reported to the Fresno Fire Department on Monday, firefighters say. Fresno Fire says they received a call for a car fire at the intersection of Weber and Shields Avenues on Monday afternoon. Upon arrival, fire crews say they saw white smoke coming from a Tesla at a local towing company. Fire officials say the vehicle was brought in for road damage and the smoking started shortly after the vehicle was brought in. The tow truck driver was able to pull the Tesla away from the buildings when the smoke escalated. Fire crews say they were able to evacuate all the people in nearby businesses and no injuries have been reported. Around 30 to 50 people were operating when the incident happened. Firefighters say the vehicle is reported as a total loss. “One of the hazards with these types of vehicles, and even when the vehicle is extinguished, you can see them reignite some hours or days later,” said Battalion Chief Lupe Fernandez. The Fresno Fire Department says they had to let the car burn itself because they were not able to save it. Tesla catches fire, shutting down Fresno street over lithium battery concerns A Tesla burst into flames Monday afternoon in central Fresno, shutting down Weber Avenue near Dakota Avenue, as firefighters worked to control a blaze in a lithium battery without using water. By 8 p.m., Weber was reopened to north and south traffic. The fire started in a tow yard around 4 p.m., said Battalion Chief Lupe Fernandez. Arriving firefighters quickly realized that shooting water on the battery could cause an explosion, and worked with the tow truck driver to pull the vehicle away from structures. Workers in nearby buildings were also evacuated and the fire department’s hazardous materials team was called in. Also sent to the scene was a Fresno County environmental health team to test water and air nearby. Fernandez said that by about 5:30 p.m., both appeared to be normal. Firefighters were not certain whether the fire had completely consumed the battery, so they opted to cautiously watch the car. Fernandez said lithium batteries pose special problems for firefighters, and there is not yet an industry standard about how to manage such fires. He said it is possible for a battery that appears to be consumed to reignite hours, or even days, later.
