Christian Gish and Daniel Gish, his 34-year-old passenger, were not wearing their seatbelts, and both men were ejected from the pickup, Ruiz said.

Pct. 6 Justice of the Peace Steve Conner pronounced Daniel Gish dead at the scene, Ruiz said.

EMS personnel transported Christian Gish to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont for treatment of serious injuries.
