Texas tire tread detaches killing Tampa surgeon on Texas highway
Dr. Gary Steven Haas, 47, chief of pediatric cardiovascular surgery at Tampa Children’s Hospital, died when a Ford Explorer rolled after the tread separated from a recalled 15 inch Firestone ATX tire about 70 miles east of Lubbock. DPS said the tire remained inflated and the tread initiated the crash. Haas helped expand Florida’s neonatal heart program, growing annual surgeries from 30 to about 400. The NHTSA is probing Firestone tire failures linked to over 60 deaths and 100 injuries amid more than 750 complaints.
