Move Over Slow Down

New Hampshire: Tow Truck Drivers: A Few Feet of Space Could Save Our Lives

On Wednesday, a 22-year-old wrecker operator from Southbridge, Mass., was killed while assisting a disabled vehicle on the side of the Massachusetts Turnpike – the same road on which Cotterly often worked around that age – apparently because the driver of a passing box truck didn’t slow down and move over far enough. Now, Cotterly, a 55-year-old from Penacook, is the one asking for a favor: Obey the law. Slow down. Move over. Give those amber lights the same respect you’d give reds and blues.
