Washington State Towers Blitzed by Snow

As snow pounds Northern Washington State, in what is reportedly the 3rd worst snowfall on record in the last 22 years, tow trucks are working non-stop.  

Johnson’s Towing Manager Jared Bibich said, “The roads are not good, there is ice underneath the snow and it is making it not a good commute. People are driving too fast and if they don’t have to leave, they shouldn’t.”  

The owners at Berk’s Towing said they are too busy to help most people and are focusing most of their efforts on helping emergency vehicles such as ambulances and snowplows. Owners Rita and Kerry Ratzlaff have been in the towing industry since 1993. “Things are really, really bad,” Rita Ratzlaff said. “There are trucks all over the place, in the ditch, and we are slammed. The phone just rings off the hook.”
