His tow truck, reportedly not in park, dragged him almost 30-feet. All while his 9-year-old step son was in the cab of the truck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The freak accident occurred at about 3:30 pm on Southeast\u00a0Second Street by\u00a0Southeast 54th Court. It was there and then that the unnamed agent left his truck for reasons yet known but assumed that he had detected something having gone wrong with the Ford F-350 pickup that he just repossessed. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Troopers report that the agent left the cab of his truck and went to the recovered truck where he climbed underneath it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">His tow truck was reportedly not in park. It then rolled forward striking the man with the towed vehicle and proceeded to drag him almost 30-feet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A witness called 911 and medical personnel soon arrived. Unfortunately, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the cab of the truck was the victim\u2019s 9-year-old stepson.
