Our client, a commercial driver who operates a tractor trailer, was parked and sleeping in the cab of his truck. A tractor trailer tow truck attempted to hitch his truck to tow it for allegedly illegally parking while our client slept inside. Our client awoke and objected to his truck being towed before being actually hitched. The tow truck driver became irate and began attempting to hitch our client’s truck before our client could drive away. Our client was able to drive away and the tow truck driver chased after him. The tow truck driver called the police and claimed our client’s trailer brushed against the tow truck as he drove away causing damage. Our client was charged with Leaving the Scene of an Accident. Counsel was able to convince the prosecutor to drop all charges after bringing to light the surrounding circumstances.
