Angeles
Verdes/Green Angels
"If you
have an emergency while driving, the equivalent of "911" in
Mexico is "060." You may also call the Ministry of Tourism's
hotline at (01) 5-250-0027/0123/0292/0493, or toll free at
(01) 800-903-9200. The Ministry can dispatch the "Angeles
Verdes" or "Green Angels", a fleet of trucks with bilingual
crews that operate daily. The "Green Angels" may be reached
directly at (01) 5-250-8221/4637-4644. If you are unable to
call them, pull off the road and lift the hood of your car;
chances are they will find you." - US State Dept - http://travel.state.gov/mexico.html.
