Just like any other vehicle, a towing truck is also at risk of getting involved in an accident. Below are steps that you should take in case this happens:

• Remain calm: As a professional tow driver, you should try your best as calm as possible though the situation dictates otherwise. You should think of what to do next instead of panicking.
• Stay at the scene of the accident: It is an offense to run away after an accident and you should ensure that you stop at the location where the accident occurred. The police will give the directions that should be followed on arrival. There are some roads that have signs showing drivers where they can move to for safety and if it is available, follow the direction.
• Do not admit that you were in the wrong: Even if you were the one who caused the accident, do not admit it at any time as it will be used against you in a court of lay.

You should also avoid talking about the issued that happened before the accident with any other person apart from the police and those that you work in the same company with.

• Secure the accident scene: Ensure that the towing trucks’ hazards have been turned on and put reflectors in front and behind the towing vehicle.
• Call for help through the emergency numbers and in there are injured people on the scene, report it too.
• Ensure that the person in charge of your towing company is made aware of the accident.
• Take photos of the accident scene: this will be useful when claiming for compensation from the insurance company. They will also be needed in case you will be required to appear in court as a result of the accident.

Having a record of everything that will be of importance documented is your best weapon that will be needed by all the parties that are involved in the accident.
