Official: Crash, "likely" due to storm, kills 10 in Alabama

June 20, 2021

A HORROR crash led to the deaths of nine children and one adult in Butler County, Alabama over the weekend. The sad news comes as a tropical storm struck the Gulf Coast on Saturday, spurring violent tornadoes in Alabama and causing severe flooding in Louisiana. Tropical Storm Claudette demolished dozens of homes across Alabama and killed two others. As of Sunday morning, Tropical Depression Claudette took a total of 12 lives in Alabama. However, it's expected to become a tropical storm again when it moves across the Carolinas on Sunday night or into early Monday, according to National Hurricane Center forecasters.
