Donations are being accepted to support a local tow-truck driver and
his family as he recovers from a car accident that severed his legs.
Monterey Tow is accepting donations for the David Garcia Trust
Fund at its two Glendale shops on behalf of the 25-year-old Glendale
man. The money will be deposited at a Verdugo Banking Co., Monterey
Tow owner Bob Morris said.
Garcia was called out June 19 to help a disabled car on the
shoulder of the northbound Glendale (2) Freeway. As Garcia stood
between the tow truck and the disabled car, Choon Suk Ro, 41, of
Montrose, allegedly rear-ended the disabled car, pushing it into the
truck, crushing Garcia between the two vehicles and severing his
legs. Ro then left the scene, officials said. Authorities are still
investigating the crash and charges are pending against Ro,
California Highway Patrol Officer Mark Garrett said.
Checks can be made out to the David Garcia Trust Fund and sent to
Monterey Tow at 601 S. Glendale Ave., Glendale, CA 91205 or 927 Air
Way, Glendale, CA 91201. Donations can also be made at Verdugo
Banking Co., 400 N. Brand Blvd.
