Help Daniel the Tow Truck Driver

On Australia Day my Brother Daniel was the truck driver who received the initial impact of the accident in which a stolen car rolled and killed  innocent pedestrians (and their unborn baby) while out walking their dog at Alexandra Hills. He was actually on his way to another traffic accident (which the stolen car had just caused up the road a few minutes beforehand). We are extremely lucky and grateful that he only received cuts and bruises and no serious physical injuries but the mental and emotional impact is greater then we can imagine for him.  Not only did he try to help the deceased and injured he also immediately went into automatic mode and diverted traffic away from the scene and stayed and cleaned up the accident scene as everything was taken away that night (which you can see him doing in the news clip). 

My Brother works for my parents’ small family business, Reliable Towing. As the accident was a crime scene the police have impounded his truck for evidence which means he can no longer work and unfortunately until the police complete their investigation it’s unknown when the truck will be released to then be able to claim on insurance (which may not even pay out enough to buy another truck and will leave them severely financially impacted) and to buy a tow truck takes months to order in and customise from the truck manufacturer so he is going to be without an income for months while trying to get over the anguish of the accident.

He has not asked us to do this. I’m trying to do what I can to help him be able to continue to pay his bills and support his family and to also help my parents business stay afloat as without the truck they cannot do the work required to pay him and leaves my father working double in the only remaining truck to keep the company afloat in an already difficult time.  Reliable Towing is a small family business that has helped many out in their time of need when they have been involved in traffic accidents so please let’s help them now they need help.
