A six-vehicle crash that occurred at approximately 3:44 p.m. Sunday, March 13, has claimed the life of a Nashville, Tennessee, juvenile.
The 11-year-old was fatally injured when a 1999 Freightliner tractor-trailer driven by Ricky L. Gray, 65, of Milton, Florida, struck a 2016 Nissan Maxima in which the child was a passenger.
The Maxima was driven by Charasma K. Moseley, 41, of Nashville, which was then forced off the roadway. The Freightliner then struck a 2009 Toyota Camry driven by Brian T. Buerkle, 47, of Cincinnati, Ohio.
After striking the 2009 Camry, the Freightliner then struck the rear end of a 2018 Toyota Camry driven by Desmond D. Bradley, 41, of Norcross, Georgia. The 2018 Toyota Camry was then forced into the rear end of a 2011 Toyota 4Runner driven by Paul C. Harris, 66, of Mobile, and a 2013 Ford C-Max driven by Tracy M. Powell, 58, also of Mobile.
The 11-year-old was pronounced deceased at the scene. Charasma K. Moseley and another of her passengers; Lauren Moseley, 21, of Fort Hood, Texas; both were transported to Baptist Medical Center South.
Desmond D. Bradley and his passenger; Andrea D. Thomas, 29, of Prichard; were transported to Baptist Medical Center South, as well.
Brian T. Buerkle was flown to UAB Hospital in Birmingham for medical treatment. An infant and a 4-year-old were transported to an area hospital for medical treatment.
The crash occurred on Interstate 65 near the 153 mile marker, approximately 10 miles east of Hayneville, in Lowndes County.
Nothing further is available as Troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) Highway Patrol Division continue to investigate.
