OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. - There have a been a lot of accidents on West Michigan roadways today. Besides police and rescue crews, the busiest people out on the roads today have been tow truck drivers.

FOX 17 spent much of the day with Eagle Towing of Muskegon. They tell us that Sunday was actually worse.

They also tell us the #1 reason for any crash out there today was drivers going too fast for conditions.  Even if you are just going 20 mph, slowing down more can often help.

They also want people to be aware of tow trucks and emergency crews responding to crashes, so more people don't get hurt along the highways.
