A tragic accident involving three vehicles took place on Highway 251 close to Wooley Springs Road, resulting in one fatality and injuries to three individuals on Tuesday, as reported by Alabama State Troopers. The deceased has been identified by Limestone County Coroner Mike West as 45-year-old Robert Kowal, a resident of Athens. He was declared dead at the scene of the incident.
The collision occurred near mile marker 10, which led to the temporary closure of all lanes on Highway 251 while emergency personnel worked to manage the situation. Fortunately, the highway has since been reopened to traffic. Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash, with Alabama State Troopers leading the inquiry into the incident.
