LOXLEY — A single-vehicle crash in Loxley claimed the life of a Silverhill man over the weekend.
The crash occurred around 9:30 a.m. Saturday on Alabama 59 just south of County Road 68, Lt. Doug Phillips with the Loxley Police Department said Monday.
According to the accident report, a 2016 Jeep Wrangler was traveling southbound when witnesses said the driver appeared to lose control of the vehicle, swerve across the northbound lane, run off the road and strike a tree.
“When officers arrived on scene, the driver had already been pulled from the vehicle,” Phillips said.
He said the vehicle caught fire after the driver was pulled free.
The driver, identified as 24-year-old Joshua Hall of Silverhill, was transported by ambulance to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
