Omaha City Council Votes 6-0 to Terminate Albertson Towing Contract After Towed Car Rolls Over Officer's Legs

The Omaha City Council voted 6-0 on June 4, 2025 to uphold the termination of Albertson Towing's city contract after three safety incidents in four months, the last of which involved a car disconnecting from a tow truck and rolling backward over a police officer's legs in what the deputy city attorney called a potentially career-ending injury, according to WOWT. The same driver was involved in a prior incident in February; Albertson may reapply for a contract in three years.

Operator takeaway

Three safety incidents in four months cost this operator a city contract for three years — document every load securement, because one dashcam clip of a disconnected vehicle is all it takes to end a rotation relationship.
