ROCK HILL, MO (KTVI-FOX2Now.com) - It's Cinco De Mayo in Rock Hill. Instead of doing the Mexican Hat Dance they're doing the tow truck tango. Each year the Mexican day of celebration attracts lots of people to the Hacienda Restaurant. The restaurant does not have enough parking. Nearby businesses don't want the overflow to fill their parking lots. They hire tow companies to get rid of unwanted cars.
Many warning signs are posted including at Hacienda. A tow can cost a driver at least $300 dollars. There are confrontations between drivers and tow truck companies. Rock Hill Police will have to intervene in about six of the disagreements each Cinco De Mayo. Tow truck company owners estimate as many as 75 cars will get the hook on this day. Drivers don't think it's fair, but business owners don't want to lose customers who can't find a place to park.
