A Tow Truck driver died when attempting to secure a Semi that rolled over in Boca Raton,FL.

Very sad that a tow truck driver fell to his death on the highway below where a Semi was hung on a bridge railing.

I have worked breakdowns & retrievals in all kinds of conditions & locations. The highway is a very dangerous place at all times of the day or night. Too many drivers, including truck drivers won't slow down or give you room to work. Most commercial vehicle drivers are aware of their surroundings & will move over or slow down but many small vehicle drivers have no concept of road courtesy.

There is no such thing as too much situational awareness out there. What a shame for an older guy to still be working and lose his life that way.
