· KRGV (NBC 5)
A McAllen man, John Montemayor, narrowly escaped serious injury when a 5-foot metal rod pierced his windshield on the expressway near La Feria. Driving at 60 mph, he felt the hot rod just inches from his face. The rod had already struck two other vehicles before hitting Montemayor's car. Fortunately, he only sustained minor cuts from the shattered glass. Montemayor emphasized the importance of securing loads, as unsecured items can become dangerous projectiles. The Texas Department of Transportation warns that failure to secure loads can result in fines, especially if injuries occur. Montemayor plans to turn the rod into a cross as a reminder of his close call.
