Greyhound bus crash in Alabama leaves at least one dead, several hurt, authorities say


At least one person was killed and several injured — at least one critically — in a crash involving a Greyhound bus late Monday night in north-central Alabama, near the Tennessee border, authorities say.

Limestone County Coroner Mike West told CBS Huntsville, Alabama affiliate WHNT-TV numerous agencies were at the scene. The sheriff’s office in neighboring Madison County said on X, the former Twitter, that it was one of them.

Huntsville Emergency Medical Services, Inc. (HEMSI) spokesperson Don Webster told the station the bus was heading from Montgomery, Alabama to Nashville, with a scheduled stop in Huntsville.

He said one other vehicle was involved in the collision.

Webster said one person was pronounced dead at the scene and eight others were hurt. One was in critical condition, three were in serious condition and four more had non-life-threatening injuries. All were brought to hospitals.

There was no initial word on the cause of the accident.

Alabama hires former college offensive lineman as assistant tight ends coach




Alabama football is hiring Noah Fisher to be its assistant tight ends coach, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Fisher spent two seasons as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line and tight ends at Louisville before joining the Tide’s staff. He played three years on the offensive line at South Alabama and spent one season with Tulane. The Jaguars started Fisher along its offensive line when he was a player for multiple games.

The Crimson Tide appear to want to use their tight ends in multiple ways in the future including as extra blockers along the line of scrimmage. Fisher looks as if he can assist the Tide with this mission.

Petition calls on State of Alabama to fund fix for Prichard sewer system after spills


Sewage overflows during storms in Prichard are sending wastewater into local waterways that feed Mobile Bay, prompting an environmental group to push for state funding to upgrade aging infrastructure.

Mobile Baykeeper says sewage overflows during storms flow into Three Mile Creek, then into the Mobile River, and ultimately end up in Mobile Bay. The group said that last week, during heavy rain, more than 256,000 gallons of sewage spilled into Gum Tree Branch and Three Mile Creek.

Mobile Baykeeper has launched a petition seeking funding from the state of Alabama to fix Prichard’s old water infrastructure.
