Florida Tow Driver Charged After Towing Car With 4-Year-Old Inside

Video evidence now guides an active police investigation.

Overview

  • Surveillance footage published by local outlets shows a tow truck lifting a parked car and pulling away as the father runs after it.
  • Police report the child exited and fell into the roadway and was treated for minor arm and leg injuries at Broward Health Medical Center.
  • Officers contacted All-Ways Towing to have the driver return; he allegedly tried to drop the car and leave before being stopped and arrested on a child-neglect charge.
  • A judge set bond at $10,000 and ordered Sergio Suarez to avoid the victim and refrain from driving pending further proceedings.
  • Suarez’s attorney says he and a spotter checked the vehicle multiple times, while the towing company declined to comment and the investigation remains open.
