Mauriceville man believes water in fuel led to terrifying ordeal on I-10

Last weekend, a family stopped for gas at the Chevron along Highway 12 in Vidor. Minutes later, their SUV suddenly died in the westbound lanes on Interstate 10.

The vehicle was eventually towed to a dealership and nobody was hurt.

Floyd says he never pumped gas at the Chevron, located on the corner of FM 1132 and Highway 12, prior to last weekend.

Floyd reached out to the gas station, seeking an explanation.

"I told them I filled up on pump number five and that I recommended that they shut down that pump and that we would call an investigator the next day to come and inspect the fuel," Floyd said. "They didn't even want to hear it, they immediately told me the fuel was fine."

12News spoke to a clerk inside the store on Sunday who said that the business is aware of Floyd's complaint but had no further comment.
