Midland County, TX (March 13, 2024) – 28-year-old Jesus Mejia Trejo and 21-year-old Mario Govea Jr were killed in a vehicle crash on Highway 158 early Sunday morning.

All the five occupants of the truck were ejected. 

Responding officers declared Trejo, who was one of the passengers, deceased at the scene.
