Storm led to many roadside help callsVW indepenent staff/submitted informationAAA emergency roadside service has been very busy since last weekend’s powerful winter storm swept across the state, grinding travel to a halt and stranding motorists.
“Our roadside calls helped us track the different stages of this storm,” said Morgan Dean, public affairs manager for AAA Club Alliance in Ohio.
“On Saturday, with the cold weather moving in ahead of the snow, battery calls surged with 43 percent of our calls that day being for battery issues.
By Tuesday, as many more drivers were starting to dig out, batteries and tows made up 75 percent of all roadside calls for the day.
1,857 battery calls were made that day, along with 1,817 calls for a tow.
