AAA is offering free towing for impaired drivers — members and non-members alike — through 6 a.m. Tuesday, May 26.
When a driver calls the hotline, AAA will dispatch a tow truck to transport the individual and their vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius. Officials stress the service is for emergencies only.
“We don’t want impaired people getting behind the wheel and risking the lives of everyone on the road,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesperson for AAA. “AAA encourages anyone planning to drink or take impairing substances to also plan for a safe ride. Tow to Go can be your backup plan.”

- Drivers can access the service by calling (855) 2-TOW-2-GO or (855) 286-9246.
