What to Do When One Side of the Car's Tire Falls into a Ditch?
1 Answers
If you are driving a four-wheel-drive model, you can engage the low-range four-wheel-drive mode to get out by yourself. If it's a front-wheel-drive model, then you can only wait for a tow truck to rescue you. You can use a jack to lift the sunken side, then place wooden boards or stones under the tire, and accelerate to climb out. Check on-site whether components such as the vehicle's control arm, steering knuckle, and tire are damaged. As long as the impact is not too strong, the control arm components will not be damaged. If there are no issues, you can continue driving. If there are problems, you can only call the insurance company to send a tow truck.
