If you have an AWD gen5(or gen4 for that matter), your car can only be transported by a flat bed truck(unless you want to risk many, many thousands of dollars of damages to your hybrid system). So if no flatbed is quickly available, be prepared to wait and then wait again for a new tire.
Or you can have a spare available in the car and still call a service to have them put it on for you. And then you can keep using your car until the new tire arrives(albeit at 50mph or less and no long trips).

Or with a dolly under your rear tires, which every sling tow truck should have.
