Man killed, 2 others injured in fiery I-59 wreck in Tuscaloosa County
A man died and two other men were injured in a fiery three-vehicle wreck Thursday morning on I-59 in Tuscaloosa County, authorities said Friday.
Daryl W. Brown Sr., 63, of Livingston, was driving a 2012 Hyundai Accent on the interstate about a mile south of Fosters around 6 a.m. Thursday when his vehicle was struck by a 2011 Mazda 6S, causing Brown’s vehicle to be disabled and the Mazda to leave the road and overturn, said Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Cpl. Reginal King.
Brown’s vehicle was then struck by a 2023 Freightliner tractor-trailer around 6 a.m. Thursday, said King.
Brown was using a seatbelt at the time of the wreck with the tractor-trailer but he was ejected from his vehicle due to the collision, King said.
After striking the Hyundai, the Freightliner caught fire.
The drivers of the tractor-trailer and the Mazda were taken to DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa with undisclosed injuries.
Further information was unavailable as state troopers continued investigating the crash Friday night.
