The name of the person fatally injured in a two-vehicle accident early Thursday morning on Highway 411 north, has now been released. According to Cherokee County Coroner Jeremy Deaton, 25 year old Lani Michelle Wilkerson-Hall, of Centre, was killed when her Mitsubishi Eclipse collided head-on with a 2004 Jeep Liberty, driven by 19 year old Rebecca Price, also of Centre.

Hall, who according to Alabama Law Enforcement Agency accident reports, wasn’t wearing a seat belt – was pronounced dead at the scene.

A two year old child in Hall’s vehicle was taken to Floyd Medical Center to be checked out.

Price was also transported to Floyd for treatment of her injuries.

That crash occurred approximately one mile south of the Georgia line, just before 5:30am.

The Cherokee County Rescue Squad extricated one of the drivers from their vehicle – while members of the McCord’s Fire Department extricated the other.

Emergency personnel attempted to call in a chopper; however, they were told that Erlanger was unable to fly due to weather conditions, and a call was then made to LifeSaver, with the results being the same.
