If anyone knows who the Tow Truck Operator that was involved in this incident let us know. You do not need to add the drivers name as the story omited that information. Repo Work is Dangerous, though it can no longer be said to be quite as dangerous on a regular Interstate Work with vehicles Bussing by at high speeds.
