27-year old Joshua Edward Stearns from New Caney along with two other men died Tuesday January 15th in a head-on collision in West Texas near Midland. The crash, which happened on FM 1788 about six mile south of Interstate 20, involved two pickup trucks.
Francisco Manuel Ortega (26) was driving a gold-colored pickup truck, in which Joshua Stearns and Jesus Caraballo (27) were riding as passengers. As the men headed south on FM 1788, Ortega attempted to pass a vehicle in the lane in front of them. He crossed into the northbound lane and collided nearly head-on with a white colored oil company welding truck driven by 47-year old Manuel Loera.
Tragically, Ortega, Stearns and Loera died in the crash. Caraballo was transported to hospital with serious internal injuries and remains in critical condition. Ortega, Stearns and Caraballo were apparently oilfield workers. If anyone is aware of a fund set up to assist the families, please email me so I can include a link.
