A two-car crash on Highway 69 near Jasper claimed two lives on Monday night.

A female passenger in Philips' trucks was transported to UAB with life threatening injuries. The preliminary investigation shows she was wearing a seatbelt, but the two men who died were not. The wreck is still under investigation.
