Man and woman not wearing seat belts killed when dump truck runs off Coosa County highway

A single-vehicle crash Monday in central Alabama left a man and woman dead.

Alabama State Troopers identified the victims as William Mathews, 65, and Annette R. Mathews, 64. Both lived in Sylacauga.

The wreck happened at 9 a.m. Monday on U.S. 280, about two miles west of Kellyton in Coosa County.

ALEA Lt. Jeremy Burkett said the pair was in a Ford F750 dump truck that overturned, left the roadway, and struck a guard rail before going down an embankment.

They were not using seat belts and were pronounced dead on the scene.

The investigation is ongoing.
