A head-on collision on Alabama 9 claimed the life of a Georgia man and sent two other men to Alabama hospitals on Saturday.
Calhoun County Assistant Coroner Jay Bowden said the accident occurred about 1 mile south of White Plains Elementary School just after noon on Saturday. The 28-year-old male driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
A passenger in the Hyundai was taken by ambulance to Regional Medical Center in Anniston for treatment. A man driving the other vehicle involved in the accident, a Nissan SUV, was taken to UAB by air ambulance.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation by Alabama State Troopers. Bowden declined to release any more information until the families of the victims are notified.
The body of the Georgia man was sent to the Department of Forensics in Huntsville for an autopsy.
