WOW, sometimes, you think it is fake news, but unfortunately, it isn’t. This week a Houston family is mourning the loss of their loved one, who was killed in a freak accident. A flying tire killed him. Yes, a flying tire. This is the kind of accident you think can only happen in an action-packed movie or TV show, but it actually happened in real life.
A tire fell off the back of a pickup truck, bounced and landed on the driver side of the windshield as Adbias Leyva was just driving along I-45. It is surreal to tell this story.

Although the driver of the pickup that was carrying the tire will not be charged with manslaughter, there are civil liabilities when someone is injured or even killed by a negligent third party.
How does this apply to you?
Although we don’t know all the details about this accident, we can certainly ask certain key questions that will determine who may be liable in this case:
- Who loaded the tires on the back of the truck?
- How were they packed?
- Where they secured?
- What was used to secure them?
- Was the material that secured the tires faulty or break? At what speed was the vehicle moving?
There are so many questions to be answered in a case like this that only an experienced investigator and law firm can ask and find the answers necessary to litigate a claim. Only a thorough and dedicated investigation into the accident can yield the best possible result for the injured victim of this freak accident like this.
