A Horizon City man died after his truck was hit by a dump truck in a crash "caused by inclement weather" in the Montana Vista area in far East El Paso County, authorities said.

Benjamin Caballero De Anda, 34, was driving a Chevrolet pickup truck about 6:40 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, in the southbound lanes in the 2500 block of N. Ascencion Street, El Paso County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Priscilla I. Contreras said in a news release.

A Freightliner dump truck that was driving in the northbound lanes lost control because of "wet road conditions caused by inclement weather," the news release states. The dump truck skidded into oncoming traffic and crashed head-on with the pickup.

Caballero De Anda was injured and taken to a hospital, where he later died.
