McAllen Man Injured in Truck Accident on M Road in Edinburg, TX
Edinburg, TX — July 26, 2024, a McAllen man sustained injuries following a truck accident at around 2:08 p.m. along M Road.
Authorities said that the incident took place off the corner of M Road and Mile 17 1/2 Road.

According to officials, a 39-year-old McAllen man was in a Freightliner truck going northbound on M Road. The truck apparently lost control, causing the truck to veer and then overturn. The McAllen man was seriously injured.
Authorities mentioned possible issues with the truck's steering, but details weren't confirmed.
Commentary
The mention of potential steering issues obviously raises a red flag. My main concern in these situations, though, is if authorities actually have the resources to investigate something as complex as a defect. Generally speaking, I rely on independent accident reconstructionists precisely because they are more reliable when inspecting a vehicle and distinguishing between maintenance issues or a manufacturing defect. Maybe authorities here are better equipped to investigate these possibilities, but if they weren't ever able to come up with clear answers, it's possible there's still more to this story.
