Two El Paso men were killed in a rollover on Interstate 10 just outside of Van Horn on Saturday.
Officials with the Culberson County Sheriff's Office said the crash occurred about noon when Guillermo Jurado, 58 and Leopoldo Peña, 65, were traveling west on I-10. They said the driver lost control, causing the car to roll.
Sheriff Oscar Carrillo said Peña was thrown from the car and Jurado was pinned under it.
This is the second single-vehicle accident in which El Paso men have been killed on I-10 this week.
On Thursday, two El Paso detention officers who worked at the West Texas Detention Facility were killed near Sierra Blanca.
Alan Peña, 20, and Rudy Arana, 25, were killed when the sport utility vehicle they were in went out of control when the driver tried to change lanes and pass another vehicle on I-10 West.
The accident occurred about two miles west of Sierra Blanca.
Five men were inside the vehicle.
Officials said Peña, Arana and Taylor McKenzi of Cibolo, Texas, were not wearing their seat belts and were thrown from the vehicle.
McKenzi also died of his injuries.
Officials said Leopoldo Peña and Alan Peña are not related.

And don't forget the vans [stolen?] loaded with a dozen or more illegal aliens that cross the border driven by a fifteen year old kid that drive cross-country for two days straight without a break. Kid asleep at the wheel and the van crosses the median strip on the interstate and goes head on into a semi going in the opposite direction.
Most dead from the collision including the driver and the rest even if injured then take off on foot and forget the rest at the scene of the accident.
Not common but no so uncommon.
Among the illegal even the liberal must understand it is not merely the crossing of the border that is a criminal act [an infraction the first time] but the subsequent wholesale and massive amount of law breaking [scofflaw] that the average illegal engages in. Just continuous and habitual breaking of all laws, minor and major. If you can break one law with impunity, what does obeying the rest mean to you? NOTHING!
