COLUMBIANA – No injuries were reported in a two-vehicle wreck on July 24 on Alabama 70 in Columbiana, but the incident caused a brief traffic jam along one of the city’s main corridors.
The wreck happened at about 12:30 p.m. when a red, late-model Dodge Challenger struck the back of a 1980s-model BMW 6-series in front of the Shelby County Co-Op business about a mile north of downtown Columbiana.
The collision closed the northbound lane of Alabama 70 for about half an hour, as police were able to re-open the road shortly before 1 p.m.
Columbiana Police Department Dispatch Supervisor Lance Brown said no injuries were reported in the wreck, and nobody was transported to the hospital.
