Juan Lopez Martinez Killed Near Brantley Crash, ALEA Says

Brantley, AL (June 28, 2026) — A passenger was killed and two others were injured in a two-vehicle crash early Sunday morning near Brantley, according to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.

ALEA troopers reported that a 2016 Jeep Patriot struck a 2013 Honda Odyssey at the intersection of Alabama 189 and Crenshaw County 43, approximately six miles southeast of Brantley.

The collision occurred at approximately 5:20 a.m.

Juan Lopez Martinez, 59, of Enterprise, who was riding as a passenger in the Odyssey, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Odyssey, a 27-year-old man from Enterprise, was transported to Baptist Medical Center South in Montgomery with injuries. The driver of the Jeep, a 17-year-old, was also transported to an area hospital for treatment.

ALEA is continuing to investigate the crash, which remains under review.


CRASH INVESTIGATION

“It’s essential to determine the exact cause of any accident. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, retain expert witnesses, run background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the victim’s family through every step of the process,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

She noted that in cases such as this, conducting an independent investigation is crucial to help preserve evidence.

“Beyond the official police report, an attorney will thoroughly examine what may have contributed to the crash,” said Bond. “A lawyer has the resources to hire expert witnesses, conduct driver background checks, locate witnesses to the crash, and review applicable insurance coverage. Acting as an advocate, an attorney can help guide an injury victim through what can be a complicated and stressful process.”


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, the family of a victim may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim. Relatives of wrongful death victims may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this one.

“The grief and sorrow that come with losing a loved one in an accident can be truly overwhelming,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal.

“We understand exactly what families are forced to go through, and protecting their rights is vital. A wrongful death attorney will stay closely informed on the official investigation and work to ensure that the family’s legal rights and best interests are fully protected,” added Formica.
