A Selma man has died after a single-vehicle crash earlier this week.

According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the crash happened just before 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 4th, on Alabama 14, near the 103 mile marker. That is approximately ten miles northwest of Selma, in Perry County.

ALEA says 72-year-old Everton Kirkland was critically injured when his vehicle left the roadway, hit a fence, overturned, and then hit a tree.

Kirkland was taken to Baptist Medical Center South for treatment. He later died from his injuries.

The cause of that crash is under investigation.
