Why Secondary Tow Requests Are Sometimes Needed After Freeway Crashes
Freeway collisions can require multiple tow trucks, particularly when multiple vehicles cannot be safely driven from the roadway. A second tow may also be requested if the first towing company cannot handle all damaged vehicles or if specialized equipment is needed to clear the highway.
During cleanup, traffic control measures are typically used to protect workers and motorists as vehicles and debris are removed. Delays can continue even after damaged vehicles are cleared because traffic flow may take time to return to normal. Early reports from these crashes usually contain only basic facts, with additional details becoming available as investigators review the circumstances and gather information from those involved.
