CULLMAN COUNTY — Two Alabama women in their 20s were killed in a fiery two-vehicle crash on Saturday, according to Senior Trooper Justin O’Neal of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.
The crash, that occurred at approximately 5:30 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 16, claimed the lives of Sydni M. Helms, 22, of Jasper, and Katherine M. Lambert, 20, of Remlap, O’Neal said.
The trooper said Helms was fatally injured when the 2014 Jeep Wrangler she was driving collided head-on with the 2017 Chrysler 300 driven by Lambert.
“After the initial collision both vehicles caught fire and both Helms and Lambert were pronounced deceased at the scene of the crash,” O’Neal said.
The crash occurred on Alabama 91 near the 17 mile marker, approximately eight miles south of Hanceville, in Cullman County. No further information is available as Troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) Highway Patrol Division continue to investigate.
