Case # 23-26728
We are deeply saddened to announce that our team member Arthur Walker was struck by a hit and run “tow truck” driver early yesterday morning. We are looking for a tow truck with passenger side damages that was in the vicinity of I-84 WB between NE 43rd & Cesar Chavez @6:45am 1/29/2023. If you have a business with camera or a residence please check your cameras between 6am & 7:30am.
For the suspect to be a tow truck operator is sickening. This individual needs to be brought to justice. The Slow Down Move Over (SDMO) laws are critical to preserving the life of emergency responders. In the towing industry, we preach this endlessly. We spread awareness to help keep our industry safe and to help ensure that we all make it home. We need your help to identify this suspect.
What:The Portland Police Bureau was dispatched about 6:45 a.m. Sunday, an officer responded to I-84 West between the Northeast 43rd Street exit and the Northeast Cesar E. Chavez Boulevard overpass. When he arrived, he found a tow truck driver laying injured in front of his truck. The officer learned the tow truck driver had just finished loading a car when he was hit by a tow truck that did not stop!
Who: The suspect’s vehicle is believed to be a tow truck. It is described as a Ford tow truck with a wheel lift device on the back, but the color isn’t known.
