Midland Police crews responded to the scene at around 1.30pm on Tuesday afternoon.

They determined that a Cadillac Escalade had struck a truck tractor that was towing a cargo tank from behind.

Police found that the tractor had been in the outside lane and attempted to make a right-hand turn onto a private drive.

Summers failed to control his speed and crashed into the vehicle in front of him.

His next of kin have been notified and no other injuries were reported.
