NY Representative Introduces “Clean Up” Bill
Long Island legislator Nick Caracappa, a representative of Suffolk County, NY., introduced the “Crash Site Clean Up” bill, which states that tow truck operators called to the scene of an accident or disablement shall clean up any debris in the surrounding area resulting from the vehicle(s) they are towing to the satisfaction of the law enforcement or authorized representative on the scene.
This includes cleaning up any oil, coolant, or gas that the vehicle(s) involved spilled on the road. Also, the tow truck operators will now be required to carry a liquid absorbing substance, shovel, broom, and a container to collect debris.
Legislator Caracappa stated, “Remaining accident debris in our roadways becomes a dangerous hazard for motor vehicles and even more so for motorcycles. It is incumbent upon all parties to ensure the safest possible passage for our families, friends and loved ones.”
