9 children killed in 15-car crash caused by drenched roads from Tropical Storm Claudette | CBS 17
9 children killed in 15-car crash caused by drenched roads from Tropical Storm Claudette | CBS 17: Tropical Depression Claudette claimed 12 lives in Alabama as the storm swept across the southeastern U.S., causing flash flooding and spurring tornadoes that destroyed dozens of homes.
Ten people, including nine children, were killed Saturday in a 15-vehicle crash about 35 miles south of Montgomery on Interstate 65, according to Butler County Coroner Wayne Garlock.
He said the vehicles likely hydroplaned on wet roads, with eight children, ages 4 to 17, killed in a van belonging to a youth ranch operated by the Alabama Sheriffs Association for abused or neglected children.
Two people died in another car that collided with the van, Garlock said – 29-year-old Cody Fox and 9-month-old Ariana Fox, both of Marion County, Tennessee.
