I was driving east on f.m. 356 at about noon. I was travelling about 50 MPH. A car turned in front of me and I attempted to pass the car. I was unable to due to oncoming traffic, so I quickly returned to my lane. One of my tires went off onto the unpaved shoulder and I went down a small embankment. It was muddy so I could not stop.
