Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

While it may not be illegal, if a law enforcement officer sees you, he will certainly investigate further to make sure that everyone is OK, sober and otherwise legal, and will probably issue some sort of citation to the driver who left the roadway. There is also a duty to report traffic accidents if the incident qualifies as one of those. On a freeway or other major road, anyone not a licensed wrecker or emergency vehicle operator could be sited for obstructing traffic, deviation from designated lane, etc. Basically if this is anything more than an easy, short distance pull, you should probably hire a professional, unless it is an emergency or busy time when all the wreckers are occupied and unavailable due to a massive storm, etc.
