Two Moulton residents died in a wreck Tuesday morning along Alabama 69 South near the Bug Tussell community.

The accident occurred before 10 a.m. when the vehicle driven by Sarah Aldridge, 41, of Moulton, hydroplaned in the southbound lane, and struck an 18-wheeler carrying steel coils.

Cullman County Coroner Jeremy Kilpatrick said both vehicles went off a 30-foot embankment with the 18-wheeler landing on top of the car.

Aldridge and a passenger, Noah Hampton, 14, also of Moulton, were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

The truck driver, who has not been identified, was not injured.

Traffic remained blogged or slowed in the area for more than two hours.

Alabama State Troopers are investigating.

In a separate accident early Monday morning a Virginia woman was killed in a two-vehicle crash.

Anne Therese Karaffa, 57, was killed when the 2009 Honda CRV she was driving collided with a 2018 Jeep Wrangler at 6:18 a.m. according to Troopers.

Karaffa was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Jeep was transported to Cullman Regional for minor injuries. The crash occurred on Cullman County 747 four miles East of Hanceville.
