As I was driving. 35mph my front wheel on the driver side had snapped off causing my vehicle to crash into a parked vehicle. Long story short. I'm going thru a financial crisis. My car was towed by aaa to my house. I notified my insurance company. Why did the police tow my car away from my house? Somebody needs to take care of this because I can't. Transportation is essential to me. Please I need help.
