Safety Comes First For Everyone<\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>When a tow truck arrives at an accident scene, safety is the top priority, not speed.

Not Every Tow Is the Same<\/h3>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Many drivers assume towing a wrecked vehicle is as simple as hooking it up and driving off.
