"My car broke down on the road I was towed." vs "My car broke down on the road so got it towed."

The correct phrase is "My car broke down on the road so I got it towed." The second phrase is incorrect because it lacks the subject pronoun "I" before the verb "was towed." The correct phrase is commonly used in English to explain that the speaker's car stopped working and they arranged for it to be towed.
