A tow truck driver died Sunday night when he was crushed between his rig and a parked RV in west Salt Lake City.
Salt Lake City police said the incident, classified as an industrial accident, occurred about 9 p.m. on Bullock's Towing Inc., at 5445 W Shea Drive (800 South).
Police identified the deceased as Tommy Zamora, 47, of Salt Lake County.
Police said Zamora apparently had left his truck to speak with a female acquaintance when he noticed the vehicle was in gear and moving. He reportedly tried to get back behind the wheel but was caught between the driver's side door and the RV before he could get completely inside.
Police said he died at the scene.
