University of South Alabama Student Nolan McDavid, 19, Tragically Killed in Head-On Collision
A devastating car crash occurred on Saturday morning along Alabama 217, claiming the life of 19-year-old Nolan McDavid, a student at the University of South Alabama. According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), McDavid was involved in a head-on collision with a 17-year-old driver near
mile marker 13, just a few miles north of Semmes.
McDavid’s mother, Randi Jones, has spoken out about the tragic loss, expressing the profound impact it has had on their family. Jones described her son as a bright and ambitious individual who had already achieved notable academic milestones. McDavid had graduated from James Madison High School at 16, earned an associate degree from Coastal Alabama Community College, and was attending the University of South Alabama.
Jones also remembered her son as a loving and playful brother, whose absence will be deeply felt by his siblings. The other driver involved in the crash sustained injuries and was transported to a local hospital.
The ALEA is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the fatal collision. We are also seeking additional information and will provide updates as more details become available.
