The Tribune article says this was exit 156, near the Walmart, it was actually at exit 154, on the southbound entrance ramp of the Springville Odenville exit, 2 miles south of the Walmart exit.

The Tribune got this right. This happened at the Walmart exit. The one you’re talking about happened yesterday morning. A total separate incident.
