First action
After an Accident, Do These Things First
A tow truck matters, but safety comes first. Do not stand near traffic or keep driving a vehicle that feels damaged.
Check yourself and passengers for injuries.
Move to a safer location if it is safe to do so.
Turn on hazard lights if the vehicle still has power.
Do not stand near traffic or between vehicles.
Call emergency services if anyone is hurt or the scene is dangerous.
Do not keep driving a vehicle that feels damaged, unstable, leaking, smoking, or unsafe.
Do not drive warning
Do Not Drive the Vehicle If You Notice These Signs
After a collision, a vehicle can look better than it actually is. Driving it even a short distance may cause more damage or put you at risk.
Call Before Driving ItAirbags deployed
Fluid leaking under the vehicle
Smoke, steam, or burning smell
Wheel pushed inward or sitting at an angle
Tire rubbing against the body
Steering feels loose, stiff, or crooked
Brake pedal feels wrong
Headlights, brake lights, or signals are damaged
Hood, bumper, or fender is touching the tire
Vehicle pulls hard to one side
Warning lights appeared after the impact
The car starts but does not feel safe to move
Not a regular tow
Accident Recovery Is Different from a Regular Tow
A normal tow usually starts with a simple problem: the car will not start, the battery is dead, or the vehicle needs transport.
Accident recovery towing is different. The wheels may not roll properly. The suspension may be bent. The steering may be locked. The vehicle may be leaking fluid. The body may be sitting against a tire.
That is why accident towing needs judgment. The goal is not just to move the vehicle. The goal is to remove it from the scene safely, avoid further damage, and get it to the correct place.
Real crash scenarios
Collision Towing for Real Accident Scenarios
Rear-End Collision
A rear-end crash can damage the bumper, trunk, exhaust, frame area, sensors, lights, or rear wheels. Even if the vehicle starts, it may not be safe to drive until inspected.
Front-End Collision
Front-end damage can affect the radiator, engine bay, hood latch, headlights, cooling system, steering components, and front wheels. If the vehicle is leaking, overheating, or the hood will not close properly, call for towing.
Side-Impact Damage
Side-impact damage can affect doors, wheels, suspension, airbags, and alignment. If a wheel looks bent or the car feels unstable, do not drive it.
Parking Lot Accident
Parking lot crashes can still damage bumpers, wheels, doors, sensors, and body panels. If the vehicle cannot move safely, Dion Towing can help transport it.
Vehicle Hit While Parked
If your parked vehicle was hit and is no longer safe to drive, call for accident towing to a body shop, mechanic, dealership, storage location, or your home.
Highway Accident
A crash on the LIE, Northern State, Southern State, Meadowbrook, Wantagh, Sunrise Highway, or another major road needs quick action and careful location details.
Vehicle Off the Road or Stuck After Impact
If the vehicle left the roadway, ended up against a curb, hit a barrier, or became stuck after impact, do not try to force it out. Call for accident recovery help.

Accident Towing for Luxury, Tesla, Exotic, and Motorcycle Damage
Some accident vehicles require extra care before they are moved. If your damaged vehicle is high-value, low-clearance, electric, modified, collectible, or difficult to move, explain the vehicle type before the tow begins.
Luxury Vehicles
Low clearance, expensive wheels, sensors, suspension concerns, and body panels close to the ground can change the towing approach after a crash.
Related service →Tesla & EVs
Tesla and EV accident situations may involve power loss, no-drive conditions, flat tire issues, and vehicle-specific handling needs.
Related service →Exotic & Performance Cars
Exotic vehicles may require careful loading because of clearance, value, tire width, aero parts, or modified components.
Related service →Motorcycles
Damaged motorcycles need proper securing so they do not shift, lean, or get damaged further during transport.
Related service →Flatbed Transport
A damaged, non-rolling, low-clearance, or high-value accident vehicle may need flatbed towing instead of a basic tow.

Why Call Dion Towing After an Accident?
You May Not Know If the Vehicle Is Safe

Wheel damage, suspension damage, low clearance, body damage, and non-rolling vehicles all affect how a tow should be handled.
The Destination Matters
