A Bridgeport man died early Wednesday morning in a two-vehicle crash.

Senior Trooper Brandon Bailey of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said the incident happened at about 5:35 a.m. Wednesday on Jackson County 33 near Jackson County 191, about three miles north of Skyline.

Michael D. Cooper, 65, died when the 2007 Ford Ranger that he was driving collided head-on with a 2004 Toyota 4Runner, driven by Jacob W. McAllister, 19, of Scottsboro.

After the initial impact, the Ford left the roadway and overturned.

McAllister and Joshua E. Cooper, 42, of Bridgeport, the passenger in the Ford, were both injured and transported to Huntsville Hospital for treatment.  

Troopers with ALEA’s Highway Patrol Division continue to investigate.
