Reportedly the group had been to Wal-Mart in Haleyville to purchase cigarettes and was traveling south on Highway 129 when the red dual-cab pickup left the highway and went down an embankment on the south side of the road. Haleyville police responded and found the six inside the truck which had caught on fire. They were quickly extracted. The Haleyville Fire Department responded and extinguished the flames.
