Woman killed in multi-vehicle crash in north Alabama

A Jackson County woman died Monday afternoon in a multi-vehicle crash in Morgan County.

Senior Trooper Brandon Bailey of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said the incident happened at about 5:39 p.m. on Alabama 67 near Hulaco Road, about five miles west of Arab.

Brenda R. Reed, 78, was driving a 1999 GMC Sonoma when it was struck by a 2017 Nissan Titan, driven by Aaron S. Barnes, 34, of Gadsden. After the initial impact, the GMC overturned and left the roadway. The Nissan Titan then struck a 2009 Nissan Rogue, driven by Shawn S. Wheeler, 59, of Huntsville.

Reed was transported to Marshall Medical North Hospital by helicopter, where she later died from her injuries.

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