Dozens of tow trucks gathered in November 2024 to honor Henry Banks, who was killed in a head-on crash with a wrong-way driver, with coworkers at I and A Automotive organizing the tribute ride, according to Tow Industry Week. The procession served as both a farewell and a public call for stronger penalties against wrong-way and impaired driving.
Operator takeaway
Banks was killed by a wrong-way driver — a hazard no amount of scene-safety training can prevent, which is why the industry's response focuses on changing driver behavior through legislative pressure and public awareness.
