Two people remain in Huntsville Hospital in critical condition from injuries suffered in a Wednesday wreck that killed a 5-year-old girl.

Ruth Ann Kyle, 27, of Elkton Road, Athens, was listed in critical condition in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit and Adam Matthew Kyle Jr., 4, of Athens, was listed in critical, but stable, condition in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, according to a Huntsville Hospital spokeswoman.

Killed in that wreck was Haley Dawn Stewart of Athens. Haley’s mother, Tanya Turner, was treated at Athens-Limestone Hospital and released. Christina Kyle, mother of the injured Adam Kyle, was also released from Huntsville Hospital. A state trooper spokesman said that all the occupants of the Kyle vehicle wore seat belts, except Adam, and it is unknown if he wore a seat belt. Limestone County Coroner Mike West said that Adam was seated in a booster seat and both children were ejected on impact.

The wreck happened at 10:45 a.m. as driver Ruth Kyle was headed north on Browns Ferry Road in a 1999 Mercury Sable. Witnesses said that Kyle passed a truck and nearly hit a southbound 2003 Dodge driven by Katherine Simms, 69, of Athens, head-on, but Simms swerved to avoid the collision. A 2001 Volvo, driven by Brenda Taylor, 64, of Hartselle, which was following the Simms vehicle, also swerved to avoid a collision, but the Kyle car sideswiped the Taylor car.

The Kyle car then left the right side of the two-lane road, struck two trees and came to rest in a residential front yard.

Occupants of the Taylor car were on their way to a Red Hat Society meeting at Yesterdays Event Center in Reid and were not injured, although the side airbag deployed. No one in the Simms vehicle was injured, according to the trooper spokesman.

Teresa Hall, grandmother of Haley Stewart, said that her granddaughter was a Head Start student at Piney Chapel Elementary School. A school spokeswoman confirmed that Haley was a student in the Head Start Program and in the Pre-Kindergarten Program.

“We’d just like to thank everybody for the love, care and support that they’ve shown,” said Hall. “Haley will be missed by a lot of people.”

A graveside service for Haley will be held at 11 a.m. today at Rice Cemetery in Lauderdale County with Elkins East Chapel Funeral Home directing.
