Tow Operators Organize Tribute to Fallen Tower

Several tow operators from around Champaigne, Ill. organized a tribute on 3/6 for Ross Booker, a 20-year-old tower who was struck by a 16-year-old driver while cleaning debris from a roadway on 3/5. The driver was cited for failure to slow down/move under Scott’s Law. 

Towers, along with police and fire workers, showed up in the pouring rain at Tatman’s Towing, where Booker worked, with their lights on. 

One tower said, “You always hear about it happening everywhere else. But it really hits close when you’ve worked scenes with someone.” 

Another tower commented, “Words can’t describe how people feel about it, because it’s a death... Especially in your community.”  Source
