Four people were killed on I-20 in Forney early this morning. All four were outside of their vehicle on the side of the road attempting to change a flat tire when a drunk driver hit them and killed all four...

This is what I've beat into the brains of my family members forever: NEVER attempt to change a flat on the side of the road. If you get a flat or have a blowout on the highway, slow down, and continue to drive to the next exit. Take the exit and find a parking lot. If it ruins the tire, so be it. If it ruins the wheel, so be it. There isn't any part on your car that is worth dying for.

That is the truth.

I get away from the car and call AAA.

Now you’re talkin’!

I’ve said before, I never have and never would change a tire.

AAA membership is cheap.

Like everything else, there’s a professional for that.
