Karen Tucker, the system’s director of technology and public relations, said Rodney Dempsey and Billy Ray Smith were traveling south on U.S. 31 in a maintenance truck, en route to Tanner High School at about 8:15 a.m. The men were turning left onto Huntsville-Browns Ferry Road when they were struck by a vehicle traveling west on Huntsville-Browns Ferry, Tucker said. She added the truck was struck “near the front” of the vehicle.
