1. I just read the news a little while ago.

I grew up in George West and US Highway 59 is a dangerous highway with a lot of deaths. It is the primary route between Laredo and Houston and law enforcement is busy with a lot of traffic chases, passenger bailouts, and drunk driving on that road. Lots of moderate size hills along with a few curves and narrow shoulders. One of these days the highway will be upgraded to Interstate 69, but it won't happen in my lifetime.
