Tow Procession Honors Fallen Oklahoma Tower

Fallen tower John Alic Mills, 31 of Oklahoma was honored by family and friends at Trinity Baptist Church in Muskogee. Towers gathered in procession, with more than 80 wreckers parked outside the church.  

Mills, who worked for Red Beards Towing, was struck and killed on November 26 when a driver went off the road and hit him. The cause is still under investigation. To further honor Mills, his name is on display on tow trucks and other signage. 

Bryan Albrecht, president of the Oklahoma Wrecker Owners Association said that even with the “Slow Down and Move Over” law, people continue to let distractions put other’s lives at risk. 

He said, “Everybody has got a cellphone in their hand, they’re watching videos," Albrecht said. "Technology has just led to that much more distraction for the driver going down the roadway."  Source: newson6.com
