About this Article

A procession of more than 150 tow trucks made a fitting tribute to Alyssa Van Meter as they trekked from a Downers Grove funeral home to a Lombard crematory, honoring the Woodridge tow truck driver who her ex-boyfriend is accused of killing. "She deserves nothing less than this," said Jessica Baker, a fellow driver at O'Hare Towing. "Anyone who encounters this, I think will be touched."
