An unusual roadside assistance call
May 29, 2026 / James Greathead / Uncategorized
If you ever needed a reminder that no two days are the same in roadside assistance, this is one such example.
At Digicall Assist, we manage a wide range of situations—from flat tyres in remote locations to keys locked in cars at inconvenient moments, and the occasional unexpected issue under the bonnet. Every so often, however, a request highlights just how unpredictable these cases can be.
Recently, one of our customers contacted us regarding an unusual situation. Their two‑year‑old child had placed a ping pong ball into the exhaust of a BMW X5. While the customer could see the object, they were unable to reach it and were concerned about the implications of driving with it in place.
One of our roadside assistance operators attended the scene and resolved the issue promptly and safely.
It may not be a typical roadside assistance request, but it reflects the range of situations our team is prepared to handle. Whether routine or unexpected, Digicall Assist is ready to provide support, when it’s needed.
