Owner Thomas Whitman of Coeburn said: "We've been called to accident scenes by the Coeburn Police Department, The Wise County Sheriff's Office and the Virginia State Police many times and watched the rescue efforts of the Coeburn Fire Department and local Rescue Squads as they cut people out of wrecked vehicles and try to save the lives of innocent victims of alcohol and drug impaired driving accidents. These accidents have killed thousands on our nations highways and all of them can be prevented. We will do our share by contributing to the MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) programs on a statewide level so that these tragedies may be prevented.   As a vehicle towing and automotive roadside service company, Big Bertha's Towing is on the front lines of the war against alcohol and drug impaired accidents. “We and the professional agencies here will strive to cut down the number of alcohol and drug related driving incidents by helping to fund advertising, research, and law enforcement programs that will impact the nations fight against this senseless carnage." With that, Big Bertha's Towing made its first contribution toward the program by allocation a generous portion of the income derived from vehicle impounds and towing of alcohol and drug impaired arrests.
