A 73-year-old Mobile man died Saturday following a single-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 43 near Thomasville, according to Thomasville Police Chief Mitchell Stuckey.
Stuckey said the crash involved only one vehicle and appears to have been related to a medical emergency rather than road conditions or another driver. The man, who has not been identified by police, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have released few additional details as the investigation continues. Single-vehicle crashes tied to a driver’s medical emergency are typically handled differently than standard traffic collisions, since investigators must weigh evidence about the driver’s health at the time of the crash alongside the physical evidence at the scene.
