The tow truck driver had stopped about 7:33 p.m. Sunday on eastbound Interstate 70, just west of Limon, to tow a disabled vehicle from the shoulder. The tow truck driver waved at a passing vehicle to ask its driver to move over, according to a news release from CSP.
The passing driver then stopped his vehicle in front of the tow truck and allegedly got into a physical altercation with its operator. The tow truck driver, a 51-year-old man, was later taken to a hospital with serious bodily injuries, according to the release.
