Some days!

The rumors are not just rumors. May 31, 2025, at midnight, will be the official end of Carl Shafer Towing, LLC. I'm retiring from the full-time towing business. The sale of my RAM rollback is pending, awaiting financing to come through. I was planning on going until the end of 2026, but after doing some math, decided I would be as well off to sell the newer truck, and quit early. I am taking a PRN job at Ohio Valley Manor transporting residents to Doctor's visits, for medical tests, and other outings. I've been on their insurance for a while now, sometimes driving their handicapped accessible bus. I'm removing myself from all the police rotations. I will miss the challenges that some of the crashes have brought up, but I will not miss getting up in the middle of the night to tow an OVI, driving under suspension, or a crash where there's no insurance. People think you're getting rich when someone abandons a car, and it becomes yours. In most cases you're lucky to get enough to cover your time towing it in, and the second tow to the scrap yard . I've met a lot of good people in this business, and have become friends with many of them. I appreciate all the support the community has given since I started in 2010, and hope to retain those friendships.

Some pictures of the vehicles involved in a crash on SR 125 late this morning. Not official, but it looked like the Equinox went left of center and struck the oncoming F150 pickup. No injuries reported. This was between Georgetown and Hamersville just west of Village Carpet.

Just in from clearing an accident on Elm Corner Rd. The driver of this Mercury Grand Marquis missed the curve and ended up in the side of a house. No one was injured. This was a bedroom, and I'm told a dresser and bed were along that wall.

Some pictures of a pretty serious accident on SR 125 west of the OVAM show grounds. I was told the Range Rover drifted left of center and struck the oncoming Chevy Traverse. There were injuries in both vehicles, but none thought to be life-threatening. I believe one passenger from the Traverse was transported on to Cincinnati shortly after arriving at Mt Orab Mercy. I towed the Traverse and Souder's towed the Range Rover.

Just got unloaded after getting what was reported as a white pickup in the ditch on Hamer Rd. As I came up on it, it didn't take long to see it was more than that. Sheriff's deputies, life squad, state patrol, and Duke Energy were all there. This GMC pickup went off the left side of the road and hit a utility pole, breaking it off, then slid sideways with the back end against another pole and guy wire. I had to work with the guys from Duke to get the truck out. They had to cut the anchor off at the ground after I slid the truck over to take tension off the guy wire. Not sure on injuries, but I don't believe anything serious.

I just picked up this Chevy Cobalt from Rumpke by the scales. Came in before daylight and got into the concrete structure of the scales. Barely a scratch on the concrete, but the Cobalt is seriously hurt.

After speaking with the owner of this F250, I'm going to go ahead and post these pictures of the accident on US 68 near Stony Hollow. This was from last Thursday 2/13/25. Due to the severity of the crash I wanted to be sure he would be okay before posting.
