Alabama State Troopers are looking for a vehicle that left the scene of a fatal crash on Interstate 65 in Escambia County early Saturday.
According to troopers, an SUV collided with another vehicle and overturned at about 12:10 a.m. near mile marker 67, roughly 16 miles west of Flomaton. A passenger in the SUV, 47-year-old Steven Stone Stewart of Nederland, Texas, was killed.
The SUV’s driver, James Pittman, also of Nederland, was taken to a hospital in Atmore for treatment, troopers said.
