I-65 Wreck Claims Life Of Woman Near Atmore, Shuts Down The Interstate
October 25, 2025
A Saraland woman was killed in a crash early Friday morning on I-65 just north of Atmore.
Alabama State Troopers said that 74-year-old Victoria B. Rodgers was fatally injured when the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan she was driving was struck by a 2022 Freightliner tractor-trailer driven by 61-year-old Henry L. Howard of Montgomery. After the initial impact, the Volkswagen left the roadway, struck a cable barrier, and overturned. Rodgers was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The crash occurred about three miles north of the Atmore exit about 5 a.m. and shut down both the northbound and southbound lanes of the interstate for several hours.
Troopers are continuing their investigation.

Perhaps time to add another lane to I-65 and restrict the 3rd lane to trucks, vehicles with trailers, and Left Lane Louie. However, Birminghasm wants a few more by-passes and Montgomery will get the remaining funds.
Praying for her family and the truck drive.
