Unrestrained 5-year-old among 2 killed in fiery east Alabama crash; 10-year-old flown to hospital

A young child was among two people killed in a fiery crash Friday afternoon in east Alabama.

Alabama State Troopers identified the adult victim as 55-year-old Micah B. Nash.

Troopers do not identify juvenile victims but said a 5-year-old was also killed.

The wreck happened at 12:40 p.m. on Lookout Street near Sand Rock Avenue, about one mile east of Sandrock in Cherokee County.

Senior Trooper Vu Quang said Nash was driving a Ram 1500 that left the road, hit a culvert and caught fire.

Both Nash and the child were pronounced dead on the scene. Quang said the 5-year-old was unrestrained at the time of the crash.

A 10-year-old passenger was airlifted to an undisclosed hospital.

The investigation is ongoing by troopers.
