A candidate running for Texas Railroad Commissioner died in a crash near Midland on Tuesday.
Reports say Marvin "Sarge" Summers was on his way to a campaign stop when he rear-ended an 18-wheeler. Midland police say Summers didn't slow down and hit the semi that was turning onto a private drive off Highway 349.
In 1992, Summers retired from a 21-year career in the US Army before going into business in the oil-and-gas industry for the next 30 years.
Summers was on the Republican primary ballot, facing incumbent Wayne Christian and two other challengers.
