SlowDown&MoveOver for Tow Operators

On Thursday, February 23, 2017 at approximately 6:30am, our Brother, Val Tua, was struck by a car on Kunia Road while securing a vehicle onto his flatbed tow truck. The impact of the vehicle pinned Val from the waist down between the tow truck and the wrecked oncoming vehicle. Thankfully, a bystander, quickly sprung into action to pull Him from the mangled wreck and contact emergency services. Moments later, an ambulance along with Officers arrived on scene and he was rushed to the ER in critical condition. Since arriving at the ER, he has been fighting for his life. He has undergone hours of surgery due to sustaining multiple fractures to both legs and has had multiple blood transfusions to replenish the major blood loss. Due to the condition he was in and the amount of fluids were lost, they had to hold off on completing his surgery and is currently being monitored in the ICU.Val, 25 years young and full of life, caring, compassionate and always willing to stop and help those in need. Val is the primary provider for his family. With the injuries sustained in the accident and the uncertainty of what's to come, he will not be able work, let alone walk. His newlywed Wife, Nani Tua, is shaken and devastated by the accident. They currently have one daughter, Serenitty, and are expecting the arrival of their Son within the next couple weeks. Although many things are uncertain at this point, we continue to PRAY and have FAITH that he and his family will pull through. We ask YOU, our FAMILY, our FRIENDS, our COMMUNITY, everyone - for all your prayers, love and support for Val, Nani & their Families in their time of uncertainty, suffering and need. On behalf of The Empire Towing Ohana and the Tua Ohana, we also ask that you please respect ALL Emergency Responders (including Tow Trucks & Tow Operators) on the roadways by abiding the SLOW DOWN & MOVE OVER LAW.
