Around 7 p.m. Saturday an SUV driven by Timothy R. Brown left Lawrence County Road 460 and ended up on its roof. Brown, 62, of Danville, did not survive.
The crash site sits less than a mile west of Moulton, right by Lawrence County Road 168. His 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer struck a ditch and rolled. He was not buckled in. First responders pronounced him dead where the vehicle came to rest.
ALEA troopers from the Highway Patrol Division took over the investigation right away. They confirmed it was a single-vehicle wreck. No other drivers. No passengers.
Brown lived in Danville, just a short drive from the spot where everything went wrong. Saturday night traffic on those county roads is usually light. That did not change the outcome.
Investigators will check the roadway, the vehicle, and any other factors. So far the only clear detail is the missing seat belt and the overturned SUV.
Local folks know how quick things can go sideways on rural roads after dark. This crash is another hard example.
The case remains open while troopers finish their work.
