A 54-year-old Selma man was killed in a head-on two-vehicle accident Saturday afternoon and an Orrville man was injured.

According to Senior Trooper Reginal King with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, Michael Molette Jr. was killed in the crash.

King said 37-year-old Derrick Westbrook Muse, of Orrville, was injured and transported to Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery for treatment. The extent of his injuries was not released by ALEA.

According to King, Molette was not wearing a seatbelt and was pronounced dead on the scene.
