A three-vehicle crash left one person dead and one injured Friday afternoon near Midland.
The wreck occurred at 3:50 p.m. on Interstate 20, 1.5 miles east of Midland near East South County Road 1150.
A Texas Department of Public Safety news release said preliminary information revealed a 2006 Freightliner Columbia driven by Jesus Gertrudis Castanon, 32, of Laredo, was traveling east on IH-20.
A Jeep Laredo, driven by Granvil Lee Oden, 82, of Lovington, N.M., and a 2015 Kenworth T80 driven by Jesus Lorenzo Lopez-Diaz, 34, of Gardendale, were traveling west on IH-20.

Oden was pronounced at scene by Midland County Death Investigator Gilbert Villarreal, the release said.
Castanon was treated at Midland Memorial Hospital and released.
