TowZone Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Katherine Cimorelli posted the poem "You can't buy a Life" on her blog Tuesday, the day after she witnessed a driver, who was alleged under the influence, hit a tow truck driver, killing him. A woman who was being assisted by a tow truck driver when he was struck and killed in hit-and-run crash on Pacific Coast Highway posted a poem Tuesday honoring the man. Katherine Cimorelli wrote that she was on the side of Pacific Coast Highway when the tow truck driver, Ronald Carver, 45, of Newbury Park, was struck and killed by a silver Audi, whose driver kept going. Jill Rose, 44, of Santa Monica is accused of driving under the influence in the hit and run crash. Rose will likely face vehicular manslaughter and other charges. (Read more about the crash here.) Cimorelli posted a poem about the crash on her blog, Sonnets and Scribbles, writing: "I wrote this poem when I got home last night, and it's dedicated to the tow truck driver. May he rest in peace, cradled safely in the love of our Father." Here is the poem: I watched you die tonight. I didn't know you more Than three or four sentences Just casual words exchanged, "What happened to the car?" "Where would you like it towed?" You smiled, simply, kindly Just doing your job Just helping out a frightened girl On the side of a dangerous highway. I heard the noise I did not see the car What was she thinking? How could she leave you there, Speeding off in a frantic hurry like that? It must have been Fear, I decide. All I remember were The golden headlights As I leapt in front of Countless cars Screaming, screaming, "Stop! Stop!" I pointed at your body I did not dare to go too close. The ambulance came. They lit the flares. The paramedic approached me- "He's passed." "Just five deep breaths." "It's out of your control." And I learned tonight You cannot buy a Life With unceasing sobs And helpless prayers of pleading. So I'm left to say, Rest now, sir, In the arms of the One who loves you most. I asked Him to give you His deepest place of Love I asked Him to care for Your grieving family I never got to meet your brother Who, I overheard, Was on his way So all I have Is your full name R.L.C I'll carry it forever with me.
