Investigators with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency's Highway Patrol Division say alcohol is being considered "a contributing factor" in a crash that killed one and left another injured Sunday in Limestone County.
The two-vehicle wreck occurred around 6:15 a.m. on Huntsville-Browns Ferry Road, near Lucas Ferry Road, about 5 miles south of Athens. ALEA Trooper Brandon Bailey said 19-year-old Eric Carson King was driving along the road when his Chevrolet Monte Carlo crossed the center line and collided head-on with a 2015 Dodge Dart.
King and the Dart's driver, later identified as 38-year-old Jennifer Marie Spencer of Harvest, were injured and transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Spencer later died from her injuries.
