Blinding Snow Causes Massive Pile Up

Fredericksburg, PA

The crash happened Saturday at 9:30am from what appears

to be a whiteout condition, with people unable to see the road.

64 vehicles were involved in the pile up on I 78 in Bethel Township, 

there were three reported deaths and multiple injuries.

15 Tow Truck companies were called out to help with

the removal of vehicles.

According to eyewitness reports the weather went

from clear and sunny to blowing snowdrifts and

total whiteout conditions.

Our hearts go out to those

who lost family members and to the injured.

Tow Truck Driver Appeals

Across the country we're hearing the same thing over

and over again, people are not stopping for tow trucks.

If you see flashing yellow lights you're supposed to stop 

or MOVE OVER to the next lane.

Here's another story out of Michigan:

Gimme a break: Tow truck operators say drivers come too close

HURON COUNTY — Slow down.

The two words have been pounded into our heads since driver’s training.

But officials say signs, cones, barrels, lights, barriers, traffic controllers and other means sometimes aren’t enough for people to heed the warning and move over for emergency and tow vehicles, which is also inked in Michigan’s “Move Over Law.”

“Slow down, just give us room to work, that’s all we’re asking,” said Bill Simmons, who owns Oak Beach Auto Repair in Port Austin. Simmons called the Tribune this week, frustrated.

He said it was bright and sunny with good visibility when he arrived to tow a vehicle out of a ditch on Caseville Road on Thursday morning. The road was icy. Cones were out and his lights were on, he said. The winch cable between the tow truck and the car was in the road.

“We just had someone hit our cable,” Simmons said. “It scraped the roof of their car.”

He said the car never stopped. So he called police.

 Pulling for a Cure. look for our new truck around town!

Restitution

When people refuse to follow laws - laws that are meant to protect,

than justice must take the reigns.

Such was the case with Steven Dolan who was convicted of

homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle.  

You see Steven Dolan struck and killed Nate Walsh, a tow truck driver who

was on the shoulder of the highway tending to a disabled vehicle.

The Judge sentenced Steven Dolan to five years probation, 

$11,309 in restitution costs and a staggered jail term.

Steven is to spend two weeks in jail on the anniversary

of the fatal crash for the next five years, this

will serve to remind him of the life he took.

Lady Gaga Scored

If only, if only the game had the same emotion as Gaga's rendition of 

our National Anthem.

Unfortunately I decided at half time to call it quits, it appeared to me

that there was much sloppiness going on and quite alot of

mean spirited activity. Did you see the Bronco's guy grab the

face helmet of the Panther's player.................what's that?

As we all know it was the Bronco's that pulled it out with

a score of 24 and the Panther's never moved from the 1st qtr

score of 10.  What was that move anyway...........climbing over all

the players for a touchdown?

and then we had the ads..........

ok, maybe it's just me...........but nothing left a lasting memory!

Oh well, the 50th Super Bowl has come and gone.

and here it is Monday morning and we're back on the job

bringing quality service to our customers.
