A man was pronounced dead on campus Monday afternoon after crashing his car into a tree by the Student Center Parking Deck.
The man was slumped over at the wheel of a silver sedan at the intersection of Campus Drive and McCorvey Drive by the Student Center just before 2 p.m. Monday. His car was stopped at the intersection and facing Campus Drive, blocking other drivers, who began honking at him. His car then continued down Campus Drive at low speed until it swerved off the road and crashed into a tree next to the parking deck.
Students immediately gathered around the car to view the accident. Stephanie Taylor, a spokesperson for the Tuscaloosa Police Department, said the department, along with the University of Alabama Police Department, responded at 1:56 p.m. to 911 calls about the accident.
A UAPD officer arrived at the scene first and began smashing the man’s window to remove him from the car before performing chest compressions with another officer on the ground. The Tuscaloosa Fire Rescue also responded to the scene.
“When he was pulled out, he was super unresponsive and not a great color,” said Carl Bitney, a freshman business management major who got to the scene just after the crash. Bitney added that the man appeared older, as he had a white beard and hair.
Taylor confirmed that the man was not a student but said she could not disclose his age.
First responders attempted life-saving measures but pronounced him dead at the scene, Taylor added. The TPD Traffic Homicide Unit will investigate the circumstances behind the crash.
Spokespeople for UAPD, the University and Tuscaloosa Fire Rescue did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
