STAFF REPORTS
A 37-year-old Austin man was killed Friday night in a single vehicle rollover caused by a tire blowout, an official says.
At about 10 p.m., Alfonso Rocha was driving eastbound on FM 2001 when he lost control of his 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer after a tire blew out. His vehicle hit a barbed wire fence and ejected Rocha, who was not wearing a seatbelt, a Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson said.
The vehicle rolled over and came to rest on top of Rocha. He was pronounced dead at the scene, about two miles east of Windy Hill Road in Buda, the spokesman said.
