LOUISVILLE, Ky. — “Amber lights flashing on tow trucks mean slow down, and move over,” Irvin Johns, president of Suburban Towing said.

Johns is calling for safer roads after a hit and run on Saturday night left a tow truck driver in the hospital.

“All we want to do is go do our job, do it well and get home to our families,” Johns said, who has been serving as president for 56 years.

“We’re there on the side of the highway in the night, 11:30 or 12 o’clock at night, and it’s a tough job,” Johns said.
