Tow trucks honor man killed on job
About 50 tow trucks led a funeral procession through Las Vegas Saturday honoring a local business man killed last month in Arizona.
"Big" Dann Collins, 47, owned Big Valley Towing and created D&D Towing, Inc. during his 21 years in Las Vegas.
He died Aug. 24 after he was struck by a passing vehicle on Interstate 10 in Arizona while hooking up a stalled vehicle for a tow.
As part of the funeral service held Saturday, tow trucks from numerous local businesses led a procession from Texas Station to Palm Mortuary, 7600 S. Eastern Ave.
Dann is survived by his wife Debbie, his daughter, Janelle, and three cats and three dogs.
