Dale County man killed in two-vehicle crash

A two-vehicle crash at 4:05 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 26, has claimed the life of a Dale County man. Naginbhai J. Patel, 79, of Ozark, was killed when the 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe he was operating was struck by a 2016 Hyundai Elantra being operated by Rebecca Harding, 36, of Westville, Fla.

Patel was transported to a Dothan hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to Alabama Law Enforcement Agency State Trooper Sgt. Michael Simmons.

Three passengers in Harding’s vehicle were transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Simmons said.

The accident occurred on Alabama 123 at Judge Logue Road, approximately 14 miles west of Dothan. Nothing further is available as ALEA State Troopers continue to investigate.
