An Arab woman was killed and a Union Grove man was seriously injured
in a car and dump truck collision on Cullman Road Friday afternoon.
The wreck occurred around 2:15pm when a Chevrolet Cavalier driven by
Jimmy Brooks, age 67 of Hickory Circle near Morgan City, apparently
made a left turn into the path of a dump truck owned by J & J
Trucking of Joppa. The truck struck the car in the passenger door.
Shirley Green, age 52, of Gladstone Drive and a passenger in the
Cavalier was apparently killed instantly. Brooks was flown to
Huntsville Hospital by Medflight helicopter. The driver of the dump
truck, Jerome Quinton Cobbs, was not injured. The initial crash
occurred at the turn-in to Big D Cycles but the car and truck came
to a stop in front of the Nationwide Insurance Office.
The accident is being investigated by Arab Police. Personnel from the APD, Arab Fire and Rescue and Arab Rescue Squad responded to the accident.
