The community is mourning the loss of 29-year-old Marcus A. McQueen, a Greenville resident who tragically lost his life in a car crash early Saturday morning. According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), the fatal collision occurred on Interstate 65, near the 132-mile marker, just north of Greenville in Butler County.
Preliminary reports indicate that McQueen was traveling along the interstate when his vehicle rear-ended another. The impact of the crash proved fatal. Authorities confirmed that McQueen was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision, and he was pronounced deceased at the scene.
No other serious injuries have been reported in the crash, and the identity of the other driver involved has not yet been released. Investigators have not indicated whether speed, impairment, or distracted driving played a role, but the ALEA Highway Patrol Division has launched a full investigation into the incident to determine the exact cause.
Marcus’s untimely passing has left a void in the Greenville community. Friends and family remember him as someone who brought warmth and laughter to those around him. The tragic circumstances serve as a sobering reminder of the importance of road safety, especially the use of seatbelts.
As the investigation continues, local authorities are urging all drivers to remain vigilant and to always wear their seatbelts, regardless of distance or familiarity with the route.
