HOOVER—An evening rush hour wreck left one dead and a child injured on Alabama 119 near U.S 280 on Jan. 27.

The fatal collision between a motorcycle and a vehicle occurred at 6:28 p.m. at the intersection of Alabama 119, Brook Highland Parkway and Greystone Way, Hoover Police Capt. Gregg Rector said.

Hoover police officers arrived on the scene to find the motorcycle driver, identified as 32-year-old Andrew Samuel Carroll of Shelby County, dead and a male child injured in the wreck.

“The motorcycle driver is an adult male who was dead on the scene,” Rector said.

The child, identified as Carroll’s 5-year-old son, was transported to Children’s Hospital for treatment and remains in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries, Rector wrote in a Jan. 28 press release.

The other individual involved in the wreck, an occupant of the vehicle, did not sustain injuries, Rector said.

Police are still investigating the accident, and Rector said it’s “too early to tell” what may have caused the fatal collision.

“The Hoover Police Department sends its deepest sympathies to the Carroll family,” Rector wrote in the release.
