Canadian Towmen Gather in Procession to Honor Downed Tower

About 200 tow truck drivers formed a solemn procession to honor Kaveh Bigdeli, who was struck and killed while assisting a stranded motorist along Highway 401 east of London, Ontario on December 3rd.  The driver involved failed to remain, authorities said. 

Towing companies from across Ontario, including the Greater Toronto Area, Niagara Falls, Sarnia, Huntsville and Parry Sound, joined the convoy. 

According to the Professional Towing Association of Ontario, Bigdeli was an employee of Majesty Towing.  

“It’s a rite of respect and something that happens on a regular basis in our industry,” said association president Gary Vandenheuvel. “Every one of us has had a close call, so when something like this happens, it really hits close to home.”    Source: https://lfpress.com/
