Scotty Dale Moss

A Limestone County man has been charged with reckless murder and DUI-assault in connection with a Tuesday night crash that killed one and injured another, according to a press release from Alabama State Troopers.

Scotty Dale Moss, 38, of Athens, was the driver of a 2015 GMC Yukon that collided with a 1984 Chevrolet El Camino on Zehner Road, eight miles west of Athens. The crash occurred at 8:40 p.m.

The driver of the El Camino, 37-year-old Lloyd Jason Crawford Reed, was pronounced dead at the scene from blunt-force trauma. Limestone County Coroner Mike West told The News Courier Reed was wearing his seat belt, but most of the impact from the crash was to the driver’s side door.

Reed’s female passenger, a teenager, was flown to Huntsville Hospital via MedFlight. Her name and condition were not released by officials.

An adult male passenger in Moss’ vehicle was not injured.

Moss was in the Limestone County Jail as of Wednesday evening. Bond had not been set.

State troopers are continuing the investigate, the release said.
