MIDLAND COUNTY, Texas — Two men are dead following a crash on SH 349 in Midland County.
According to DPS, the crash occurred on Aug. 3 around 5 a.m.
Jose Castillo, 55, of Midland was driving a truck tractor south on SH 349.

Featherston reportedly failed to yield the right of way at the intersection of SH 349 and CR 140.

As a result of the crash, the truck tractor completely burned as did the front of the truck.
Both drivers were pronounced dead. DPS says it is unknown if either man was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
