Published on December 12, 2016

Huntsville Police are investigating an accident that claimed the life of a 1 year old Friday evening at Martin Luther King, Jr. Hwy. and Kelly Cemetery Rd.

Officers responded to the two car accident at 7:00 p.m. last night.  A car with four passengers was traveling west on Kelly Cemetery Road and pulled into the path of a car with one occupant traveling north on Martin Luther King, Jr. Hwy.  The impact ejected 2 of the passengers, 1 adult and 1 child, from the car that was traveling on Kelly Cemetery Road.  The child, 1 year old Booker Cowan, died at the scene.  It appears he was not in a child safety seat and his mother who was also ejected was not wearing a seat belt.  Neither the mother nor any of the other people involved have life-threatening injuries at this point.  The investigation is ongoing.
