Out on US-77 and US-281 the wrecks are high-speed and far from help, often with a long winch back to the road. Refugio's US-77 and SH-35 crossroads and Three Rivers on I-37 see steady collision work. Experienced rigging only, no making it worse.
What is accident recovery like in Sarita, TX?
Sarita is the Kenedy County seat with 205 people, no gas, and the Javier Vega Jr. Checkpoint 14 miles south.
Sarita sits in northern Kenedy County on US-77, 21 miles south of Kingsville and 61 miles north of Harlingen. Texas Monthly once wrote that the only landmarks in Sarita were a green sign, a water tower, and a blinking yellow light. That's about right. There's no gas station in town, no convenience store, no café. The nearest fuel is in Riviera, five miles north. The nearest grocery is Kingsville. Kenedy Ranch land stretches in every direction, and the county's entire population at the last census was about 350 people. The Javier Vega Jr. Border Patrol Checkpoint sits 14 miles south of Sarita on US-77, renamed by federal law in 2017 to honor a CBP agent killed in the line of duty. Every northbound vehicle on US-77 stops there. Commercial trucks face inspection. Drivers sent to secondary can wait while agents check cargo and papers. A truck with a leaking air line, an overheating engine, or a tire going soft that limps through secondary inspection may not make it another mile. There's no tow in Kenedy County. The call goes to us in Kingsville or reaches north toward Corpus Christi. Either way it's a long run, and the meter reflects it. Breaking down on US-77 in Kenedy County is not like breaking down near a city. Cell coverage is spotty through the interior of the county, so try moving to a rise in the terrain if you're not getting through. If you're near the checkpoint, CBP agents can sometimes radio for help, but the tow still comes from outside the county. We'll drive to you. We've done it before.
