TRUSSVILLE — Two people who were involved in a five-car crash at Regions Bank at 192 Main Street in Trussville Tuesday are in the ICU at UAB hospital in stable condition, a family member confirmed Wednesday.
“They have been told they will be OK,” said the family member, who did not wish to be identified. “They are in stable condition but still in ICU.”
The family member said the two victims, who also did not wish to be identified, were her in-laws and that they had been traveling in the car that overturned during the crash.
“They were coming back from New Orleans,” she said. “They are from Gadsden, and were on their way home. We don’t know what caused the wreck, we just know that they were in it and their car overturned.”
This service dog, who was traveling with the victims whose car overturned in the crash, was “completely fine” despite the ordeal.
A service dog belonging to one of the victims was taken to a local vet after the wreck. Initially family members did not know where the dog was taken, but it was later found at Trussville Animal Hospital and was “completely fine.”
Trussville Fire and Rescue Chief Tim Shotts confirmed Wednesday that his department transported five people from the wreck.
“Everyone we transported was in stable condition,” he said.
Detective Michael Bruce with Trussville Police Department said Wednesday that the cause of the wreck was still under investigation.
“There were five cars involved, and two were parked in the parking lot at the bank,” he said. “We are working with Regions Bank to get video surveillance to help verify what we have been told in witness reports.”

^that has not been confirmed. Multiple reports said she’d been speeding at high rates and weaving in and out of traffic for about 3 lights back. My in laws are the ones left in ICU with multiple injuries and they have not said that that is in fact what happened.

I didn’t post anything except not to say what it is since the cause hasn’t been released yet. I didn’t state anything that the article didn’t state.
