Tow Company Needed Near M-37
Missing Driver Reappears After Tow Company Called
Our tow company was called a few days ago when a car was found in a ditch 10 feet deep w on southbound East Beltine (M-37) near Burton Street. The car was discovered by a county worker who was manicuring the grass. The worker noticed the extent of the damage to the car and also that there was no driver or passengers in or around the vehicle. It was abandoned. He immediately called the authorities. The Grand Rapids Police Department quickly arrived on the scene to begin their investigation in the early afternoon.
Grand Rapids Towing was called to remove the vehicle using a 1 ton tow truck. The driver had driven into the culvert in the middle of the night. Rather than calling the authorities right away, he headed home. The driver told the responding officer that he simply forgot to make the call.
We want to thank the Grand Rapids Police Department for assisting our towing company and making sure we had the space we needed to safely get the vehicle out of the ditch and to our tow yard. We applaud them for their quick investigation that proved no one was injured in this serious accident.
