That's an odd occurance ... our prayers and support are with his family and his tow company. The address posted is a City of Omaha Impound lot. Unconfirmed reports indicate that tower Jeffrey Johnson may have slipped and fallen from a tow truck (type unknown). Medics transported him to a local hospital where he passed away from his injuries.    R.

Condolences to family and friends. Accidents don't make appointments, they just happen anywhere any time. Be safe everywhere. We had a logger killed Monday while trimming a tree when it rolled and pined him against another log. His first day on the job.
