Egan: Righting wreckage on Hwy. 401 — unsung towing crews hit prime-time

When things go horribly wrong with big trucks on Ontario’s 400-highways, people die, things burn, traffic locks in angry grids and a mountain of wreckage is left behind.
And people like Andrew Vink go to work. “A lot of times, when the weather turns bad, and people stop and get off the road, that’s often the time we’re going out.”
Vink is operations manager for Herb’s Towing, one of the biggest outfits along Highway 401 from Cornwall to the Quebec border
