24/7 Towing After an Accident
A damaged vehicle may be unsafe to drive even when it appears operational. Steering, suspension, tires, wheels and other critical components can be affected by a collision. If you are uncertain about your vehicle’s condition, arranging professional towing is the safer choice.
Accident Towing May Be Needed When:
- The vehicle cannot be driven
- The vehicle is blocking a roadway or intersection
- Airbags have deployed
- A wheel, tire or axle has been damaged
- Fluids are leaking from the vehicle
- The steering or suspension is damaged
- The vehicle has left the roadway
- Police or emergency personnel request its removal
Cars, Trucks and Commercial Vehicles We Tow
Our light-, medium- and heavy-duty towing capabilities allow us to respond to accidents involving many different types of vehicles.
- Passenger cars
- SUVs and crossovers
- Minivans
- Motorcycles
- Pickup trucks
- Commercial vans
- Delivery and box trucks
- Work and utility vehicles
- Buses and recreational vehicles
- Semi-trucks and tractor-trailers
Provide the vehicle’s year, make, model and condition when requesting service. For commercial vehicles, include information about attached trailers, cargo and approximate weight.
Accident Scene Vehicle Removal
Accident scenes require careful coordination with drivers, police officers, firefighters and other emergency personnel. Our operators assess the vehicle’s position, damage and surrounding conditions before beginning the removal process.
Our Accident Towing Process May Include:
- Confirming the accident location
- Coordinating with law enforcement or emergency personnel
- Evaluating vehicle damage and accessibility
- Selecting the appropriate towing equipment
- Loading or repositioning the damaged vehicle
- Removing the vehicle from the roadway
- Transporting it to an authorized destination
Our goal is to remove the vehicle safely while helping emergency personnel reopen the affected roadway as efficiently as conditions allow.
Accident Recovery and Vehicle Extraction
Some collisions require more than standard towing. Vehicles that have rolled over, left the roadway, become trapped against another object or traveled down an embankment may require specialized recovery and extraction equipment.
Complex Accident Recovery May Involve:
- Vehicle winching and extraction
- Rollover recovery
- Embankment recovery
- Semi-truck and tractor-trailer recovery
- Heavy lifting and rotator services
- Load shifts and cargo transfers
- Accident scene and cargo cleanup
Tell our dispatch team as much as possible about the accident and vehicle position so we can coordinate the appropriate equipment, operators and recovery resources.
Police, Fire and Municipal Accident Response
Goch & Sons Towing works with police departments, fire departments, municipalities and other public agencies to remove accident-damaged vehicles and roadway hazards. We currently provide towing support to the Lincoln Park Police Department and the Melvindale Police Department. We are also a contractor for the Michigan State Police.
Our 24/7 dispatch team can coordinate passenger vehicle towing, commercial vehicle removal and complex accident recovery based on the needs of responding agencies.
Insurance and Roadside Provider Coordination
We work with motorists, insurance companies, motor clubs and roadside assistance providers to coordinate accident-related towing. Service information and the approved vehicle destination should be provided when the towing request is placed.
When You Call, Be Prepared to Provide:
- Your name and contact number
- The accident location
- The vehicle’s year, make and model
- A description of the damage
- The vehicle’s position and accessibility
- Whether police or emergency personnel are present
- The requested towing destination

Where Can an Accident-Damaged Vehicle Be Towed?
Depending on the circumstances and applicable authorization, an accident-damaged vehicle may be transported to a collision repair facility, dealership, mechanical repair shop, secure storage facility, impound facility or another approved destination.
If you are unsure where the vehicle should be taken, speak with your insurance provider, law enforcement officer or our dispatch team before transport begins.
What to Do After a Vehicle Accident
Move to a safe location if you can do so without placing yourself or others at risk. Call 911 when anyone is injured, the accident is blocking traffic or there is an immediate safety concern.
Do not stand between vehicles or attempt to move a severely damaged vehicle yourself. Follow the directions of police, firefighters and other emergency personnel at the scene.
