Maria Gable and Marco Valles Killed in Rollover Accident After Tire Failure

Tucson, Arizona—A rollover accident on northbound Interstate 19 near the San Xavier Road exit killed Maria Concepcion Gable, age 49, and Marco Valles, age 14. The other occupants of their vehicle were taken to a Tucson hospital for treatment.

Arizona Department of Public Safety accident investigators determined that tire failure caused Ms. Gable to lose control of the pickup truck.  All passengers were transported to Banner University Medical Center where three youths were treated and released.  

It is believed that all the occupants in the pickup truck were residents of Tucson.
