Ford Driver Steven Michael Basden Dies in Loop 250 Collision [Midland, TX]

Midland, TX (November 5, 2024) –  45-year-old Steven Michael Basden was killed in a Loop 250 collision Friday afternoon.

It was around 2 p.m. on November 1 when the fatal traffic crash happened in Midland County.

Troopers said a 2024 Ford F-350 driven by Troy Alan Gilbert, 45, was westbound on the road when the right-side tire broke off the trailer. 

The tire traveled across the westbound lanes, over the cable barrier, and onto the opposite side of the roadway. Officers said it struck the windshield of an eastbound 2018 Ford F-250 driven by Steven Michael Basden. 

Basden lost control of the vehicle and struck the cable barrier in the median. 

Rescuers transported him to Midland Memorial Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries the following day.

Meanwhile, the authorities are conducting a further investigation and stated that both parties were wearing their seatbelts during the collision.
