It’s a sad day in my home state, Alabama.
Two Alabama teenagers are dead after they were killed in a car accident moments after leaving their high school prom in Tuscaloosa, Alabama early Saturday morning.
According to police, around 1:50 a.m. officer responded to reports that a 2022 Tesla and a semi-truck had collided, and the Tesla was pinned under the truck’s trailer, trapping four occupants.
The deceased victims have been identified as 17-year-old Madison Sims, who was driving the car, and 18-year-old Samuel Brown, the front-seat passenger.
Both Sims and Brown were pronounced dead on the scene.
Sims was a student at Bryant High, while Brown was a student at R.C. Hatch High School, where he played on the basketball and football team. Â
Rumor is that the Tesla Sims and Brown were in had malfunctioned before the crash.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
