Spring break 2020: Here's how to get a free ride and tow in Corpus Christi

Apollo Towing Service will offer free rides and tows to drivers in South Texas who have had too much to drink during spring break.

The towing service announced the free ride and tow is a part of its "No Excuse" anti-driving-under-the-influence campaign. The program will start at 6 p.m., Friday, March 6 and will run through 6 p.m. Sunday, March 15, according to a news release.

To arrange a pickup, drivers can call 361-853-0003.

Apollo Towing Service announced this year's initiative is dedicated to fallen Corpus Christi police officer Alan McCollum and to injured police officer Michael Love.

In January, both McCollum and Love were struck by a drunk driver while performing a traffic stop in Corpus Christi. McCollum died from his injuries.

“Our community was hit hard by the tragic loss of Officer McCollum and injury of Officer Love by an allegedly impaired driver,” said Michael Staff, vice president for Apollo Towing Service. “Over the years, our NO EXCUSE program has helped hundreds of drivers in our community to potentially avoid these kinds of senseless tragedies, but even our best efforts will never be enough; it’s up to individuals to act responsibly.”

Here's what you need to do to a get free ride and tow:

• Tows must be conducted IN Corpus Christi, Portland, or Robstown zip code areas
• Towed vehicle MUST be operational (not wrecked/broken down)
• Apollo Towing Service will transport vehicle and driver ONLY
• Driver MUST have keys for vehicle being towed
• Operators will assist each customer in/out of tow truck
