Tragic Accident Claims Life of Florence Woman in Jefferson County, Alabama

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ala. (WAFF) – In a heart-wrenching incident that occurred last week, a fatal two-vehicle crash claimed the life of a Florence woman in Jefferson County.

The unfortunate collision took place on December 23, on Interstate 65, approximately a mile south of Gardendale.

Reports from authorities indicate that Gayla Ingle, a 27-year-old woman, lost her life as her Honda Civic veered off the roadway and collided with a stationary Peterbilt tractor-trailer. The truck was occupied by a 32-year-old man from Fairfield.

Tragically, it was revealed that Ingle was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. She was pronounced dead at the scene, leaving behind a devastated community.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s Highway Patrol Division is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident, striving to determine the exact cause of the accident.

The loss of Gayla Ingle serves as a stark reminder of the importance of wearing seat belts while driving. Seat belts are one of the most effective safety measures in preventing severe injuries and fatalities in automobile accidents.

In light of this incident, it is crucial for drivers to prioritize their safety and the safety of their passengers by always wearing seat belts. Adhering to this simple habit can significantly reduce the risk of fatal consequences in the event of a collision.

As the investigation continues, the community mourns the loss of Gayla Ingle and extends their deepest sympathies to her loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
