A Hayden man was killed in a head-on collision with a pickup truck in Blount County.

Alabama State Troopers identified the fatality victim as Shawn A. Thomas. He was 42.

The crash happened at 9:55 p.m. Tuesday on Alabama 160, about one mile east of Hayden.

Senior Trooper Cody Farrar said Thomas was driving a Nissan Maxima that collided head on with a Ram 2500 driven by 32-year-old Matthew T. Reno of Blountsville.

Thomas was not using a seat belt at the time of the wreck and was pronounced dead on the scene, Farrar said.

Reno was transported to UAB Hospital in Gardendale for medical treatment.

The investigation is ongoing.
