What to Do If Your Car Breaks Down on I-94 in Minneapolis

A busy highway breakdown requires visibility, distance from traffic, and a clear location for the tow dispatcher.

Move out of danger if it is safe

Turn on hazard lights and, if the vehicle can move safely, get as far from live lanes as possible. If you cannot move, stay buckled inside when that is safer than standing outside. Do not cross active traffic to reach help.

Call with precise location details

Share your direction of travel, nearest exit or cross street, lane or shoulder position, vehicle make and model, and whether it rolls and steers. These details help Markaa Towing discuss emergency towing or roadside assistance.

Do not attempt an unsafe repair

Only inspect the vehicle if you can do so away from moving traffic. Avoid standing between the vehicle and the travel lane, and tell the dispatcher about traffic, darkness, weather, or damage.
