What Happened?
Falkirk Recovery was contacted after a BYD electric vehicle was involved in a road traffic accident in Newhaven, Edinburgh.
The collision caused extensive damage to the front nearside suspension, tyre and alloy wheel, leaving the vehicle unsafe to drive. The impact completely shattered the alloy wheel and damaged the suspension assembly, making professional BYD Accident Recovery essential.
Due to the extent of the damage, the vehicle required specialist recovery and transport to a local repair centre where technicians could carry out a full inspection and begin repairs.
How We Helped
Our recovery operator attended the scene in Newhaven and completed a full assessment before planning the safest recovery method.
As the damaged wheel could no longer support the vehicle safely, specialist loading techniques were required to prevent any further suspension or steering damage during recovery.
Using our professional tilt and slide recovery truck together with specialist winching equipment, the BYD Accident Recovery was completed safely and efficiently.
Once loaded, the vehicle was secured using professional wheel restraints before being transported directly to a local repair centre in Edinburgh for assessment and repairs.
The vehicle arrived safely without causing any further damage to the already compromised suspension components.
Why Professional EV Recovery Matters
Electric vehicles require specialist recovery techniques, particularly following a collision.
Unlike conventional vehicles, electric vehicles contain high-voltage electrical systems and battery packs that require careful handling after an accident. In addition, severe suspension or wheel damage can make loading significantly more challenging.
In this case, the impact had completely destroyed one of the alloy wheels while damaging the suspension, meaning the vehicle could not be driven or safely rolled without specialist recovery equipment.
