Weekend fatality prompts OSHA probe at Midland drilling site
A Big Dog Drilling safety manager confirmed an Odessa worker Brian Harrison, 24, died Saturday at a rig site between Crane and Rankin. OSHA may take up to six months to finish its investigation while another Midland employee Cody Hall died from electrocution at a northern Upton County site. A second case involved a Midland man charged with enticing a minor, and a separate fatal I 20 crash near Arlington. Police urge safety rules for students and parents to discuss with children.
