HOOVER, Ala. (AP) - Police in Hoover arrested a man they say caused a wreck that killed one person and injured four others.
Local news media report that a silver Chevrolet Cruze was traveling north in the southbound lanes of the interstate and hit a Honda Accord around 3:45 a.m. Sunday. The Honda was then hit by a black Chevrolet Cruze.
