One worker is dead and three others are injured after an industrial accident in a Texas oil field Monday morning.
The deceased victim, 65-year-old Johnny Mills, died after being exposed to hydrogen sulfide while he was working in an oil field.
Mills, along with another worker named Steven Waters, was on top of a tank battery. Both men were exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas when they went to open a valve.
When officials arrived on the scene, Mills was found lying unconscious on top of the tank. Waters had fallen off the tank.
Two other workers, Ernie Hicks and Mike Moore, were on the ground when the incident occurred. The two men were taken by ambulance to an area hospital where they were held overnight for observation.
