Shorter, AL (September 25, 2020) – At approximately 5:55 p.m., on September 25, the Alabama Highway Patrol, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians responded to the site of a crash on Interstate 85 in Macon County.

Reports from local authorities show that a motor vehicle collision occurred on the northbound side of Interstate 85 in the area just before the exit for Alabama State Highway 229.

Crews responded to the scene of the accident and immediately secured the area. Medical technicians rendered aid to victims at the scene before transporting those in need of further assistance to area hospitals for treatment.

The crash resulted in major delays throughout the area as crews spent over two hours clearing the scene of the accident to enable traffic to go through the area.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and everyone who was affected by this car accident. We hope those injured are able to make a full recovery.

Car Accidents in Alabama

Every day, more than 128 people are injured in motor vehicle accidents across the state of Alabama. These accidents add up to more than 47,000 victims annually. Although many victims sustain minor injuries that cause a temporary disruption in their lives, tens of thousands of people are forced into area hospitals where they have to undergo medical treatment for their injuries.

The time following an accident can be extremely overwhelming. The mental and physical pain and suffering that victims are forced to endure are made worse by towering medical bills, repair expenses for their vehicles, and being forced out of work to recover. Regrettably, the majority of accidents are a result of reckless and negligent drivers. When victims are harmed in accidents due to the actions of other motorists, it is crucial that they reach out to a car accident attorney in Alabama as soon as possible.

    Rafiq A.

    My family and I met Attorney Dwayne Brown after the unfortunate accident involving my niece. Attorney Brown did an exceptional job representing my family. He was the consummate professional, and treated my family with the utmost dignity and respect. As a result of his representation, my family was able to achieve a substantial settlement in our case. Although we obviously did not get our loved back, we are prayerful that we met Attorney Brown. My family would highly recommend Attorney Brown to anyone in a similar situation.

    Michael L.

    An excellent and professional lawyer. He took on a car accident case on my behalf, worked with me from across the country, and was just as vigorous in his pursuit of justice on day 912 as he was on day 1.

    Nikia S.

    Attorney Brown represent me on a case involving a motor vehicle. Another attorney indicated they could not help and I was recommended to attorney Brown by a well-respected member of my community. Attorney Brown resolved my case to my absolute satisfaction and did an excellent job. I highly recommend his services.
