Tower Seriously Hurt in Hit and Run
A hit and run episode in Concord, N.C. left a tower seriously injured, after he was dragged along the road.
Tower John Owen of LeBleus Towing was at the end of his shift when he was rear-ended by a black sedan according to a surveillance camera in his tow truck.
The video shows Owen getting out, and then disappearing for about 45 seconds. He is then seen being dragged about 50 feet up the road, and then lying on the street. A black car takes off and someone rushes to help the him.
“(The good Samaritan) did an excellent job, we’re trying to find out who they are so we can thank them, if they wouldn’t have stopped more than likely he wouldn’t be here today,” said Jeremy Good, owner of Lebleus Towing.
Good said all the surveillance video has been turned over to the Concord Police Department to help with the investigation. He’s asking these nearby business owners to do the same.
Right now, Owen is recovering at a Charlotte Hospital.
His colleagues are pitching in $1,000 of their own money to offer a reward leading to an arrest in the case.
