Alabama tow operators organized a procession to honor operator Richard Wilson, 53, who died weeks from injuries sustained when he was hit by a vehicle July 29 on I-85 in Montgomery, Ala.

Wilson, who worked for Jacobs Towing, was hit while loading a vehicle on his tow truck at approximately 6:45 p.m. He died three weeks later.

The towing companies participating in the procession encourage motorists to slow down and move over for tow trucks on the roadside.
