Verisk's CargoNet reports a sharp rise in July 4 cargo thefts; warning of peak risk dates and targeted states.
On May 24, a Florida woman was seriously injured in Georgia when her car launched off a tow truck's ramp, as shown in a police bodycam video. The tow truck was preparing to load a vehicle from an unrelated accident on the highway when the woman's car hit the truck's ramp and "vaulted" about 120 feet into the air, hitting another car. The driver, a Tallahassee woman born in 2001, along with another driver, was hospitalized due to the incident.
