Teen dies nearly 2 weeks after south Alabama crash that killed elderly man, injured several others

A 16-year-old has died nearly two weeks after a south Alabama head-on crash that also killed an 83-year-old man and injured several other people.

The wreck happened at 9:20 p.m. Friday, Oct. 25, on Alabama 52, about four miles west of Columbia in Houston County.

Alabama State Troopers said the teen died Wednesday, Nov. 6. Troopers do not release the names of juvenile fatalities.

Trooper officials said Curtis Moore, 83, of Dothan, was a passenger in a Dodge Journey that collided head on with a Chevrolet Tahoe driven by a 16-year-old.

After the initial collision, both the Journey and the Tahoe struck the trailer of the 2024 International tractor-trailer driven by Adam V. Luna, 48, of Albany, Ga.

Moore was not using a seat belt at the time of the crash and was pronounced dead on the scene.

The driver of the Journey, 37-year-old Quinlavan M. Thomas, also of Dothan, was injured and taken to Southeast Health in Dothan for medical treatment.

A 5-year-old child, who was also a passenger in the Journey, was also injured and transported to a hospital for treatment.

The 16-year-old driver and a 16-year-old passenger in the Tahoe were both injured and hospitalized. It was the teen passenger who died.
