“I’m pinned between two cars. I don’t know what’s happening,” Rios said. “But I’m feeling the hottest burning sensation. In my mind, it’s not real, it felt like a movie. And I’m being pushed across the ground.”
These days, his buddies are reluctant to ask what happened. They don’t want to pry. He says he can’t get the memories out of his head. They come in flashes: It’s loud. He’s angry about being hit, confused because he can’t seem to stand up and exasperated that cars continue rushing by.
Someone takes a belt and ties it around what’s left of his leg.
A close up photo shows just the lower body of a person in a wheel chair as they attach a prosthetic leg where there is otherwise no limb below their knee on one side.
Today, he doesn’t handle loud noises well.
“It’s the boom,” he said, “the impact.”
But Rios wants to tell his story, because he wants drivers to slow down and pay attention when they pass a tow truck.
Five months later, state police are still investigating the crash, and Rios is adjusting to life with a prosthetic leg, relearning how to do basic things like driving and playing with his son. “Mentally, physically, emotionally, ... I’m dealing with it,” he said.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the risk of dying as a tow truck driver is 15 times higher than in other dangerous private industry jobs, such as welding and construction. And most states, including Oregon and Washington, require drivers to move over and slow down when they see a tow truck. But many people don’t, despite the threat of a $140 ticket.
“You get some people that are just in a hurry, texting and driving, not paying attention. Putting make-up on,” said driver Dan Carroll, who also works for Chappelle’s Towing in Vancouver.
Tow truck drivers say they with death and injury on a regular basis, whether it’s the motorists they’re dealing with, a pedestrian or someone in the tight-knit driver community. It’s an ever-present fact made more tangible by the location of their offices, usually on the side of a highway with traffic speeding by at 60, 70, 80 miles an hour. "

Washington State has a new public service announcement to protect tow-truck drivers.
