34-year-old killed in fiery Walker County crash
Authorities have identified a man who was killed nearly one week ago in a fiery crash in Walker County.
Alabama State Troopers late Thursday identified the victim as Mason L. Wood. He was 34 and lived in Jasper.
The wreck happened about 4 p.m. Friday, March 21, on Bennett Road near Zelles Road. That location is about eight miles north of Jasper.
Trooper Cpl. Reginal King said Wood was driving a Ford F-150 pickup truck that left the road, struck a tree and caught fire. He was dead on the scene.
Wood’s body was taken to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences where his identity was later confirmed.
The crash investigation is ongoing.
