Towing and impound context
The Mississippi River bridges concentrate traffic into a few crossings, and a vehicle that fails on one is a recovery in live lanes. I-64 is signed with US-40 through the city and locals still call the whole thing Highway 40, which is worth knowing when giving a location.
Weather that puts cars on a flatbed
The city sits where northern snow and southern ice storms meet, so a winter can bring either. Freezing rain is the more damaging of the two, and the freeze-thaw cycle opens potholes that take out tires and wheels.
Charging and electric vehicles
Cold weather cuts range and slows fast charging, and charging is concentrated in the central corridor rather than spread across the region. A stopped EV goes on a flatbed, because the drive wheels cannot be freed from the motor.
