A head on collision between two 18 wheelers on Interstate 759 in Gadsden, has claimed the life of one person with another being transported to the hospital for treatment.

According to reports that crash took place near the Gadsden Mall, about a mile east of Black Creek Parkway just after 5:00am Friday.

At this point, it appears that one of the trucks veered into the eastbound lane and struck the other truck near the right-hand shoulder of the road.

The investigation into the matter is now underway and we’ll have additional information as it becomes available.
