24/7 Accident Recovery and Vehicle Extraction
Not every collision ends with a vehicle sitting safely on the shoulder. Some accidents leave vehicles in ditches, medians, snowbanks, embankments, or partially overturned in positions where standard towing isn't enough. Getting the vehicle out safely requires controlled recovery before anything else happens.
Ontario Towing provides professional accident recovery services in Ottawa with trained operators, specialized equipment, and structured scene management around the clock. Whether the vehicle is off-road, on its side, partially submerged, or stuck in an unstable position, we respond with the right recovery plan for the specific situation.

What Is Vehicle Recovery?
Recovery is what happens before the tow. It's the process of safely extracting a vehicle from a hazardous or unstable position so it can be loaded and transported without causing further damage.
Common recovery situations we handle include:
Ditch and snowbank extractions
Off-road pullouts
Rollover stabilization and uprighting
Flood and water area removal
Multi-vehicle collision positioning
Vehicles stuck on embankments or uneven terrain
Each scenario requires different equipment and a different approach. We assess the scene before touching the vehicle.
Rollover & Severe Accident Recovery
When a vehicle has flipped or landed on its side, rushing the extraction causes additional structural damage. Our recovery process for severe accidents includes scene and hazard assessment, controlled winching, stabilization before any lift, proper uprighting procedures, and careful loading onto transport once the vehicle is secure.
We take the extra time to do it right because a damaged vehicle that gets damaged further during recovery creates problems for insurance, repairs, and total loss assessment.
Water & Off-Road Extraction
Vehicles that enter water, mud, or unstable terrain present their own set of challenges. The ground around the vehicle may be soft, the pull angle matters significantly, and the wrong approach can dig the vehicle in deeper or cause additional damage.
Our operators are trained specifically for these situations, using winch anchoring, controlled pull angles, and ground stabilization techniques to extract the vehicle without creating additional risk at the scene.
Insurance & Collision Coordination
Accident recovery in Ottawa almost always involves insurance. We work directly with insurance companies, claims adjusters, Collision Reporting Centres, and TSSEA compliant storage facilities. Our team responds promptly to documentation requests and ensures the vehicle is positioned for adjuster inspection without unnecessary delay on our end.
