🚨 SLOW DOWN. MOVE OVER. 🚨

Today, one of Rusty’s drivers was clipped by an F-150 on I-270 on the west side of town while working.

Thankfully, he is alive, but he is being transported by squad to be checked out and will need X-rays.

This is your reminder: SLOW DOWN. MOVE OVER. — FOR ALL EMERGENCY AND ROADSIDE SERVICE VEHICLES. 🚨

There is a real person inside that truck. He has a wife and kids waiting for him at home. ❤️

Please keep him, his family, and everyone involved in your thoughts and prayers tonight.

Slow down. Move over. Give them room to make it home. 🙏🚨

Another tow operator is fighting for her life because someone failed to pay attention behind the wheel.

On Saturday afternoon, Kellie Glaneman of Blair’s Towing & Recovery was doing what thousands of towing and recovery professionals do every single day, helping clear a disabled vehicle from the roadway on eastbound Interstate 64 near Newtown Road in Virginia. Instead of going home to her three children, she was struck by a passing vehicle while loading a car onto her tow truck.

The injuries are devastating. According to her family, Kellie suffered multiple broken bones, a shattered elbow, shattered thumb, severe injuries to her hand, extensive damage to her hamstring, numerous fractures in her back, and remains hospitalized in serious condition. She is unable to move on her own and spends much of her time unconscious as doctors fight to help her recover.

This wasn’t an unavoidable accident. This was another reminder that every time a driver ignores emergency lights, fails to move over, or refuses to slow down, the people working inches from live traffic pay the price.

Tow operators, law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, DOT workers, and roadside service providers deserve to go home at the end of their shift. They should never have to wonder if the next distracted, careless, or reckless driver is going to change their lives forever.

Slow Down Move Over Inc. asks everyone to keep Kellie Glaneman, her family, and the entire Blair’s Towing & Recovery family in your thoughts and prayers.

Move over.
Slow down.
Put the phone away.
Someone’s life depends on the decision you make in the next few seconds.

What’s your thoughts on this sentence handed out for damn near killing someone who was working bc your drinking and driving!

My boss has permanent 🧠 damage and may never be able to drive again.
He still ain’t back to work and was in hospital for weeks, multiple surgeries, plates in his face etc!

Idk but probation and 600$ fine seems disrespectful to the tow industry!

A woman who was charged following an incident where a tow driver was hit, sending him to the hospital, was sentenced this week in Mahoning County Boardman
