Butterfly Mural Honors Fallen Towman

A bright butterfly mural behind Twisted Scissorz Salon in Port Huron, Michigan stands as a tribute to Jason Schultz, a tow truck driver killed by a drunk driver in 2016. Created in 2023 by local artist April Cutler, the mural was commissioned by Schultz’s sister, Jenn Sharpe, who owns the salon. The artwork, featuring yellow wings tipped in blue, has become a popular photo spot but carries a solemn reminder of the importance of Michigan’s “Move Over” law.

Sharpe plans to commission a second mural to mark the 10th anniversary of her brother’s death, hoping it will continue to raise awareness about roadside safety. “All it takes is a second to miss something and take someone’s life,” she said.

The tragedy led to renewed attention on Michigan’s Move Over law, which requires drivers to slow down and change lanes for emergency and roadside workers. National Move Over Day, observed Saturday, encourages drivers nationwide to do the same. Source: https://wgrt.com
