Winter Storm Causes Flurry of Action for Towing Companies

Posted: Updated:

The owner of Ace Towing in Bismarck estimates they took between three and five hundred calls this weekend.

George Kuntz says the majority of calls were for people who slid into the ditch.

The total number they wedged out of the ditch, he guesses to be around 70 or 80 vehicles.

Driving conditions and visibility have improved, but authorities say drivers should continue to be cautious on slick roads.

You can easily spot some trouble spots on I-94 where drivers lost control in the Bismarck area.

Towing companies are getting vehicles back on track, and the Department of Transportation plows are clearing roads, but some drivers are just glad they made it through the worst storm so far this year.
