When should you call for a tow?
Question: My wife slid off the state highway this morning. She came to a stop in the median ditch, unhurt but rattled – only needing to be pulled out. When she called me I told her to call the State Patrol and stay in the car until you arrived. What is the right procedure to follow when a driver ends up stuck in the ditch? Do you contact the towing company or is that the responsibility of the stuck driver?
