QUESTION: police had it towed because it was an accident, and no at the hospital

Answer
Clarify what you are asking please. Are you asking if personal property should be left in a vehicle that is impounded then the answer is yes. If you are asking if you are allowed to get personal property out of a vehicle that has been impounded then it depends on the towing company. Do you have insurance?
