Man killed by flying tow strap while helping stranded motorist

PERU, IN —
A man was killed by a flying tow strap Tuesday night in Miami County while trying to help a stranded motorist, police say.

Miami County Sheriff Tim Miller released a statement Wednesday saying Glenn “Allen” Music, 46, was pronounced dead Tuesday evening by Miami County deputy coroner John Bowyer.

Witnesses said Music was using his pickup truck and a tow strap to pull a vehicle belonging to Harold J. Heitzman, Peru, from a ditch along 300 North, just west of 100 West.

The strap came loose from the stuck vehicle, sending the metal end of the strap through Music’s rear window, striking Music and causing a fatal head would.

Music’s 4-year-old daughter was a passenger in the vehicle and was not injured.
