Alabama Crash Claims Life Of Bratt Man

August 2, 2025

A two-vehicle crash north of Atmore claimed the life of a Bratt man on Friday afternoon.

Marion Cooper, 61, was pronounced deceased at the scene of the 2:03 p.m. crash on Highway 21, near Huxford Road. Cooper apparently went through a stop sign on Huxford Road and into the path of a semi-truck traveling on Highway 21. His Crown Victoria became lodged under the truck’s trailer. The driver of the truck was not injured.

Early reports indicated that Cooper may have suffered a medical emergency before the crash.

Alabama State Troopers are continuing their investigation.

    Is this the son of the Cooper’s that owned the store at the crossroads in Bratt?
