The streets of Atlanta are always busy, but sometimes, even on a routine drive, something goes wrong. That is just what happened lately to a driver on Memorial Drive-a historic artery that cuts through the heart of the city, connecting downtown to neighborhoods like Kirkwood and Stone Mountain. For this particular motorist, her drive took a turn for the unexpected when her vehicle suddenly stopped running and left her in a vulnerable position.

It was a busy afternoon, with traffic flowing steadily past the historic Oakland Cemetery and near the vibrant energy of Grant Park. Our call came in – a distressed driver, her car now a stationary obstacle, just east of Boulevard SE and before the merge near the I-20 access points. The specific location was critical; Memorial Drive is a main thoroughfare, and a stalled vehicle there can quickly become a significant hazard, not just for the driver but for other commuters.

At Westside Atlanta Towing, we realize that each call is more than just a tow; it’s a rescue. Our dispatcher immediately understood the situation at hand and realized how congestion could be possible, hence the need for a rapid response. One of our experienced heavy-duty tow truck operators, already familiar with the intricacies of the urban landscape in Atlanta, was dispatched within minutes.

Through the afternoon’s traffic, our operator skillfully navigated the city to bypass the usual bottlenecks, perhaps catching a glimpse of the bustling King Center or the new developments popping up around the Atlanta Dairies complex, while heading straight to the stranded vehicle.

Upon arrival, our operator found the driver, quite shaken but relieved at the sight of our tow truck. The vehicle had been carefully positioned onto the shoulder but still in a precarious spot with the constant flow of traffic. Our operator quickly and safely assessed the situation, confirming that the car was, in fact, unresponsive.

Our team member readied the vehicle for movement with precision and professionalism. All necessary safety protocols were engaged, setting up cones and flashing lights to ensure visibility to oncoming and passing traffic. The car was then loaded onto our flatbed tow truck-the best possible option to ensure no further damage in transport, something important on busy roads.

With the vehicle safely loaded for transport, our operator took a moment to make sure the driver was comfortable and had a plan for next steps.
