One man died in a head-on collision between a large truck and an SUV in Coosa County on Sunday evening. Two others injured in the crash were both rushed to a Sylacauga hospital. One of the accident victims was later airlifted to a Birmingham hospital for treatment. The accident occurred when the driver of a passenger vehicle ran a stop sign and turned onto Highway 280 East. A semi heading in the same direction on Highway 280 struck the passenger vehicle. The impact caused the truck driver to lose control, cross the median, and slam head-on into an SUV. The driver of the SUV was killed in the crash.
