The Mobile community is mourning the tragic loss of 21-year-old Bess Margaret Adams, who passed away following a single-vehicle crash on Dawes Road late Wednesday night.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) reported that the accident occurred at approximately 11:47 p.m., approximately four miles south of Mobile city limits in Mobile County.
Bess M. Adams was behind the wheel of a 2020 Nissan Kicks when the vehicle left the roadway, struck a culvert, and overturned. ALEA confirmed that Adams, unfortunately, was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and was ejected from the vehicle.
Despite being transported to University Hospital in Mobile, she succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced deceased.
The circumstances surrounding the accident have prompted an investigation by ALEA’s Highway Patrol Division. Troopers are diligently working to piece together the events leading up to the crash, examining factors that may have contributed to this tragic incident.
News reports emphasize the critical detail that Adams was not using a seatbelt, leading to her ejection from the vehicle during the rollover.
This serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of seatbelt usage in preventing severe injuries or fatalities in car accidents.
