State Investigating Case of Woman Dragged to Death by Tow Truck
SAN ANTONIO -- The state licensing department is investigating the tow truck company responsible for dragging a woman to her death.
Natalie Servantes died last Wednesday shortly after her car was towed from a friend's North Side apartment complex. She had parked her car in a spot meant for apartment residents only—and Atlas Towing was called to pick it up. But as the Atlas truck drove off with her car, Servantes chased it down, trying to get the driver to stop.
Somehow, Servantes got stuck to the dollies attached to the back of the tow truck, and was dragged behind the truck as it accelerated. Witnesses say they heard her screaming. The driver didn't stop.
Police say Servantes was dragged half a mile until her body broke free from the truck— just before it merged onto Wurzbach Parkway and into the night. Atlas Towing confirmed that it was their truck—and driver—that was responsible for towing Servantes car.
