The Port St. Lucie Police Department is working with local towing companies to remove disabled and abandoned vehicles obstructing roadways during the shift from flood response to cleanup. Removed vehicles are taken to the MidFlorida Event Center for temporary storage, where owners can retrieve them after ownership is verified.

Why it matters

Disabled and abandoned vehicles pose safety hazards, impede traffic and prevent crews from safely reaching affected areas. Clearing them supports recovery efforts across Port St. Lucie.

The operation is documented by a Port St. Lucie Police Department announcement posted to Facebook on Tuesday preceding November 3, 2026. The number of vehicles removed and the expected duration of the towing effort were not stated.
