Laredo, Texas – On Thursday, September 3rd, 2009 at approximately 7:51am, Webb County Sheriffs Deputies were dispatched to a roll-over accident on TX HWY 359 by mile post 448. Driver Mario Alberto Flores was in a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado truck when the rear driver’s side tire lost its tread suddenly. Although the tire stayed inflated, the loss of the tread caused the vehicle to swerve and Mr. Flores was unable to control the motor vehicle. The pick -up truck eventually swerved off the roadway and flipped over before coming to a rest in the middle of a fence line belonging to the Schwartz Ranch. The driver was transported to the Laredo Medical Center complaining of back pains; however he was released later on in the day with no serious injuries reported. Mr. Flores was not cited.
