A one-car accident claimed the life of a Boaz woman tonight, bringing the total number of people killed in traffic accidents today in Etowah County to four.

Deputy Coroner Michael Head said Joanie Patterson, 24, died as a result of an accident at 6:15 p.m. on Sand Valley Road in Attalla.

Patterson was a passenger in a 2007 Ford Focus that was travelling down the road "at a high rate of speed," Head said. The driver apparently lost control of the car, which left the roadway and traveled approximately 150 feet before striking a tree.
