BIRMINGHAM – A two-vehicle crash at 10:24 a.m. today, April 3, has claimed the life of a Springville man and a child.
Michael Jerome Jones, 41, was killed when the 2003 Ford Mustang he was driving collided head on with a 2013 Toyota Tacoma driven by Kevin Wayne Isbell, 36, of Ashville.
Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two children, ages 3 and 12, were passengers in the Mustang and were transported to Children’s of Birmingham Hospital, where the three-year-old later died.
The driver of the Tacoma was not injured. The crash occurred on U.S. 231, one mile south of Ashville.
Nothing further is available as Alabama State Troopers continue to investigate.

Second child is ok physically. He will forever have to live with the trauma he endured today because of a selfish idiot texting and driving.

The one in the truck was texting and hit the car. I know this family personally. The 12 year old boy, who survived, saw it all happen and said the guy in the truck was swerving and hit them head on. Text app was open on that guy’s phone.

This is sad and very infuriating. The texting driver should be in jail facing murder charges.
