A single-vehicle accident occurring on Tuesday evening in Cherokee County claimed the life of a Piedmont man.
According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency accident report the wreck took place at around 6:20pm on U.S. Highway 278 near mile marker 163. Danny Archer, 73, apparently lost control of the 2019 Toyota he was driving, as he rounded a curve – with the vehicle leaving the roadway and going down an embankment resulting in fatal injuries.
That wreck remains under investigation by Alabama State Troopers.
