A Selma resident died in a two-vehicle crash on Saturday.
According to Sgt. Jeremy Burkett of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), Roosevelt Sigler, 69, drove a 1997 Jeep Cherokee that was struck by a 2017 Dodge Ram pickup driven by Joe N. Smith III, 37, of Demopolis.
The incident took place around 6:45 p.m. on U.S. Highway 80 near the 96-mile marker, about 10 miles east of Selma.
Burkett said that Sigler was not using a seat belt at the time of the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Joe N. Smith III and Valerie Smith, 42, also of Demopolis, a passenger in the Dodge Ram, were also not using seat belts. Both were injured and transported to Vaughn Regional Medical Center (VRMC) for treatment.
