Midland, Texas – Early Thursday morning, a white sedan overturned onto its roof at the intersection of North County Road 1130 and East I‑20. The incident was captured on video, showing the vehicle lying on its roof with its front end embedded in the roadway.
Shortly after the first vehicle flipped, a second vehicle – a small four‑door gray sedan – entered the scene and also suffered damage. The extent of the damage to the gray car has not been fully detailed, but the video suggests both vehicles were involved in a collision that caused the overturn.
