Two women die in fiery head-on collision in Autauga County
Two women were killed in a fiery Thursday night crash in Autauga County.
The two-vehicle crash happened at about 7:41 p.m., said Lt. Jeremy Burkett, spokesman for the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency. Carolyn C. Cason, 78, of Prattville was fatally injured when a 2023 Lincoln Aviator she was driving collided head-on with a 2007 Ford Fusion driven by Alyssa M. Taylor, 30, of Selma, who was also fatally injured.
After the initial collision, both vehicles left the roadway and became engulfed in flames. Cason and Taylor were both pronounced dead, Burkett said.
The crash happened on Alabama 14 near the 142 mile marker, about nine miles west of Prattville, in Autauga County.
