ETOWAH COUNTY, Ala. — A Gadsden toddler was killed in a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 59 near Alabama 77 on Friday morning.

The driver of the Camry, Tenisha Rochar Timmons, 33, of Gadsden, was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Both the driver, who was not wearing a seatbelt, and the child, who was not restrained, were ejected.

The toddler was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Kenworth was not injured.

Nothing further is available as Troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) Highway Patrol Division continue to investigate.
