Yesterday, one of our own was seriously injured while doing his job on the side of the road.

Alec, a tow truck operator with Kitsap Chico Towing, was struck by a vehicle while working on the shoulder of SR 302. The driver of the vehicle was arrested for suspicion of DUI. Alec was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center, where he is receiving care for his injuries.

Today, we are asking our entire community to please keep Alec, his family, and the entire Kitsap Chico Towing family in your thoughts and prayers. ❤️

For everyone who works along our roadways, this is a reminder that the shoulder is not a safe place.

Tow operators, law enforcement, firefighters, EMTs, WSDOT crews, road workers, utility workers, and countless others put themselves in vulnerable positions every single day to help others. We cannot control the choices other drivers make. But we can stay alert. We can keep our heads on a swivel. We can watch for lights, signs, cones, people, and vehicles on the shoulder. And when you see emergency lights or roadside workers ahead:
SLOW DOWN AND
MOVE OVER WHEN IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.
GIVE THEM SPACE.

The goal is simple: Everyone deserves to make it home at the end of their shift.

Please share this. Talk to your family. Talk to your teenagers. Talk to the people you work with.

Because the person standing on that shoulder could be someone you love.

🙏 Prayers for Alec. Prayers for his family. Prayers for Kitsap Chico Towing. And prayers for every roadside worker who puts their life on the line to help others.

Slow Down AND Move Over Washington.

🚛 WHO PAYS FOR THIS CLEAN UP? 🚛

One of the biggest misconceptions about the towing and recovery industry is that the “government” pays towing companies to respond to crashes and clean up accident scenes.

The truth is: THEY DON’T

Most towing and recovery companies are placed on a rotation list and are called when law enforcement needs assistance. Being on that list does not come with a paycheck from the State, county, or local government; just means you have an opportunity to work, when they call you.

If the party or parties involved don’t know who they want to help them, then law enforcement will go to the rotation list to get a company to “clean up the mess” and take cake of the recovery and haul it off the roadway and preform remediation.

When a serious crash occurs, towing and recovery professionals often invest thousands of dollars in labor, equipment, environmental cleanup, traffic control, and specialized recovery resources to clear the roadway and help restore safe travel for the public.

Payment is typically dependent on the vehicle owner, their insurance company, or the company involved. Unfortunately, many vehicles are uninsured, underinsured, or owned by companies that will never pay the bill and abandoned them with the tower.

In many cases, recovery companies are forced take legal matter such as law suits or to wait through the legal abandonment process and then attempt to recover a small portion of their costs by selling the vehicle or remaining debris for scrap. Often, that amount doesn’t come close to covering a fraction of the actual expense of the recovery operation.

The next time you pass a crash scene that has been cleared and traffic is moving again, remember that a towing and recovery company likely invested significant time, manpower, and resources to make that happen—without any guarantee they will ever be paid.

Towing and recovery professionals don’t do it because it’s easy. They do it because someone has to answer the call.

A potentially tragic situation in Dryden ended safely Saturday thanks to quick-thinking witnesses and first responders.

Chelan County Fire District 6 responded to a vehicle hanging partially over a canal bridge near Logsdon Lane. Two children were pulled from the vehicle by witnesses before crews arrived. The vehicle was secured by Washington State Patrol, and firefighters safely rescued the driver, who was not injured.
