The sheriff's office says Mathis crashed with a vehicle traveling east, driven by 44-year-old Elysia Kust of Coleman. Deputies say both Elysia and a passenger — 73-year-old Mary Kust of Coleman — died from their injuries.

Deputies say inattentive driving and failure to stop at a stop sign appear to have been factors in the crash.

The crash remains under investigation.
