Midland/Odessa Tx. - The Department of Transportation were called out to two fatal accidents Tuesday morning.

A 41-year-old Midland woman is dead after a crash on Highway 158.

DPS Troopers tell CBS 7 that Delma Fuentes Madrid was heading west on 158 when she left the road, hit a fence, and overturned into a field.

She was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene.

It happened about 6:55am.

DPS Troopers say this two-vehicle crash in Odessa left a Fort Stockton man dead.

They say his car drifted into the opposite lane and he crashed head-on with a tractor trailer.

26-year-old Jesus Rivera died at the scene.
