Jesus Jose Urias Killed in Ector County Two-Vehicle Crash on Interstate 20 

Ector County, Texas (July 26, 2020) – A man was killed Saturday morning in a two-vehicle crash in Ector County, according to DPS.

The fatal crash occurred around 8:00 a.m., July 25, on the north service road of Interstate 20, nine miles west of Odessa.

DPS said Jesus Jose Urias, 63, of Midland, was exiting I-20 onto the service road in his 2004 Ford pickup. 

Odessan Guadalupe F. Resendez, 24, was driving a stolen 2017 Ford pickup when he failed to yield the right-of-way and struck Urias’s truck.

Urias was pronounced dead at the scene. His passenger, a 51-year-old Corpus Christi man, was taken to an Odessa hospital with incapacitating injuries.

The truck driven by Resendez had been reported stolen in Odessa on July 19.

Resendez was taken to an Odessa hospital with non-incapacitating injuries. He was then taken to Ector County jail.

A 25-year-old Odessa woman, who was a passenger in the 2017 Ford, was taken to an Odessa hospital with incapacitating injuries.

Three other passengers, Mexican males, were uninjured in the crash and were released to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The authorities are investigating the crash.

We pass our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Jesus Jose Urias.
