Winch-out service in Pikeville, NC was needed after an Amazon delivery van slid nose-first into a ditch along Nahunta Road. Its tires were buried in the soft shoulder, leaving the driver unable to safely get the van back onto the pavement.
Big Will’s Towing & Recovery responded with the equipment and experience needed to complete a careful roadside recovery.
Amazon Van Stuck Along Nahunta Road
The delivery van had drifted off the shoulder near a curve and settled into the grass beside the roadway. Although the van did not appear to have serious damage, it was stuck at an angle and could not regain traction.
Trying to drive a vehicle out of a ditch can dig the tires deeper, damage the undercarriage, or cause the vehicle to slide farther off the roadway. The safest option was a controlled winch-out.
A Slow and Controlled Van Recovery
After securing the recovery area, our towing operator positioned the truck to create the proper pulling angle. The winch line was connected to a suitable recovery point, and steady tension was applied to guide the Amazon van out of the ditch.
The van was slowly brought back onto solid pavement without causing additional damage. Successful ditch recoveries require more than pulling power—they require the correct equipment, safe rigging, a proper recovery angle, and patience throughout the job.
We captured the recovery on video, showing the van coming out of the ditch smoothly and returning to the roadway.
Why Professional Winch-Out Service Matters
Soft shoulders, narrow rural roads, sharp curves, rain, and loose ground can quickly leave a vehicle stuck. This happens more often than many drivers realize on roads throughout Pikeville, Goldsboro, Fremont, Princeton, La Grange, and the surrounding Wayne County area.
Whether you are driving a delivery van, work truck, SUV, or passenger car, forcing the vehicle out can make the situation worse. Professional winch-out service helps reduce the risk of:
- Additional body or undercarriage damage
- Tires becoming buried deeper
- The vehicle rolling or sliding
- Damage caused by using an improper attachment point
- Creating a more difficult and expensive recovery
