  1. Get off the road if you can. Coast to the right shoulder or the next exit.
  2. Hazards on. At night, keep your parking lights on too.
  3. Stay buckled in the car on a busy freeway shoulder unless it’s unsafe, and exit on the side away from traffic.
  4. Note where you are. Freeway, direction, nearest exit or call box number. On your phone, share your GPS location.
  5. Call for a tow. Call 562-843-1110 or request a tow online and tap “Share my location.”
  6. Have your info ready: year, make and model, whether it rolls, and where you want it towed.

If anyone is hurt or you’re in a dangerous spot, call 911 first.
