Keeping up the maintenance on a vehicle can help ensure that it runs properly and lessen the likelihood of an accident. Sudden issues with vehicle parts, including tires, could easily cause problems for drivers and other travelers on the road. When tractor-trailers experience these issues, serious truck accidents can occur.

It was recently reported that a fatal crash took place in Texas involving an 18-wheeler and an SUV. The 18-wheeler was traveling southbound with a 73-year-old driver behind the wheel when one of the truck's tires blew. The truck driver was unable to keep the big rig under control, and it collided with a northbound SUV before flipping and catching on fire. The incident occurred just after 6:30 a.m.

Some people may feel as if life is always ready to cut them down. They may feel as if their circumstances only go from bad to worse, and when they face criminal charges for meth or other drugs, they may feel as if they are only being proven right. However, individuals could help themselves get back on the right track by focusing on defending against the allegations.

One man in Texas may be hoping for favorable outcomes after recently being charged. Reports stated that the narcotics unit for a country sheriff's office and the Texas Department of Public Safety started an investigation early last year into the man for suspected drug-related activity. Last month, the investigation led to officers obtaining an arrest warrant for the man. Upon arrival, officers saw the man outside, and he reportedly attempted to flee but was apprehended.

It is an unfortunate reality that one mistake could have harrowing and irreversible outcomes. Though a person may already feel devastated by the results of his or her mistake, it is also possible for other consequences to result, such as criminal charges. In some cases, parties may end up having to defend against felony allegations.

One young woman in Texas is currently facing such a tragic ordeal. According to reports, the 18-year-old mother was walking through a parking lot at an apartment complex when her 18-month-old son was hit by a vehicle. The mother had apparently gotten well ahead of the child as he walked across the parking lot. A neighbor entered a vehicle and ran over the child after presumably not seeing him.

It is common for people in Texas and across the country to worry about their finances. After all, any major change could result in repercussions that leave someone hurting financially. Unfortunately, divorce is one of those changes that could have significant impacts on someone's monetary affairs.

Though avoiding divorce may not have been possible, avoiding negative financial repercussions can be. Individuals ending their marriages can work to ensure that they do not wind up struggling with their money-related matters because they are now single. A good starting place is to create a budget or even multiple budgets. One budget could look at divorce-related expenses and how those will be paid, and another could work to manage future expenses living on a single income.
