· KRGV (NBC 5)
A McAllen resident, John Montemayor, narrowly escaped injury when a 5-foot metal rod pierced his windshield while driving on the expressway near La Feria. Montemayor was traveling at 60 mph when the rod, which had already been struck by two other vehicles, came dangerously close to his face. He managed to pull over safely with only minor cuts from the shattered glass. Montemayor emphasized the importance of securing items while driving, as unsecured loads can lead to serious accidents. The Texas Department of Transportation warns that failing 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.
