Are you in a dangerous location?
Your safety comes first. If you or anyone else is in immediate danger, or there’s a risk of injury, call 999 straight away.
If it’s safe to do so, move away from moving traffic, put on a hi-vis vest if you have one, and wait somewhere visible but protected — for example behind a barrier, well away from the carriageway. Then call or WhatsApp us and let us know if your vehicle is in a dangerous position so we can prioritise your recovery.
