CLANTON, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama Department of Public Safety says a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 65 in Chilton County claimed the life of a Birmingham teen and her infant son.
State troopers say the crash occurred Thursday evening. They say 18-year-old Randreaita Coleman and her 10-month-son, Carter Young, were killed when her car crossed the median and collided with a dump truck.
Investigators say Coleman was texting while driving before losing control of her vehicle.
The driver of the truck was hospitalized with what troopers describe as non-life-threatening injuries.
