A tragic Madison, AL car wreck on US Hwy 72 and Wall Triana has sadly claimed the life of Zachary Keyser, a 25 year old US Marine. According to police, Mr. Keyser's truck collided with another vehicle causing Mr. Keyser to lose control of his vehicle and strike a utility pole. Initial reports indicate the at-fault driver may have been intoxicated (drinking and driving). Police have taken a blood sample and are awaiting the results. If the other driver is found to have been DUI he will be charged criminally.
