Father and Son Dies After Their Cars Collide Head on

Police in Alabama (US) say alcohol was a factor as a father and son died in a head-on road collision at the weekend.

Jeffrey Brasher, 50, was reportedly on his way to work when his Ford pickup was hit by a Chevrolet pick up belonging to his 22 year son, Austin Brasher.

The father, a bread delivery driver, died at the scene near Winfield on Saturday.

His son was pronounced dead at hospital in Birmingham a few minutes later. Neither of them was wearing a seat belt.

Monica Marie Aker, a cousin of the younger Brasher, told people.com “Austin did drink and was coming home from partying when they crashed.”

The father and son who both lived in Bankston, about 67 miles (107km) west of Birmingham – were said by relatives to be very close.
