A teen from Andrews was killed in a crash along State Highway 349 Tuesday morning.

Neo G. Calvert, 18, of Andrews passed away following the accident.

According to DPS, their troopers were called out to a crash eight miles north of Midland around 7:40 a.m.

When the troopers arrived at the scene they found a crash involving a truck tractor and a Chrysler 300.

The driver of the Chrysler, Calvert, was taken to Midland Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The driver of the truck tractor, Juan Romero-Caballero of Chihuahua, Mexico was not hurt in the crash.

An investigation of the crash revealed that Caballero was driving north on the highway as Calvert was driving south. Caballero reportedly made an unsafe turn and crashed into Calvert's car.

DPS says that Calvert was not wearing a seat belt at the time.
