Zosima Andabalo injured in Tuscaloosa County crash that kills 12-year-old

TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, Ala. — A two-vehicle crash on June 8 claimed the life of a 12-year-old from Coker and left several others injured.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said the crash happened at around 4:45 p.m. on Romulus Road near Libby Road. The location is about eight miles west of Northport.

A 16-year-old from Northport driving a Ford F-150 pickup truck hit a Chevrolet Colorado pickup. The 12-year-old was one of four occupants in the Chevrolet.

Emergency responders pronounced the child dead at the scene but did not identify the victim.

Zosima M. Andabalo, age 36, of Coker was driving the Chevrolet. She had three passengers: the 12-year-old, a 14-year-old and a 5-year-old.

Paramedics transported Andabalo to DCH Regional Medical Center. The 14-year-old and 5-year-old were taken to an area hospital. The 16-year-old Ford driver was also injured. Paramedics transported the teen to an area hospital.

ALEA troopers are continuing to investigate the incident.


CRASH INVESTIGATION

Each year, motor vehicle crashes in this country kill approximately 40,000-42,000 people and injure millions more. According to the most recent NHTSA data, alcohol impairment and speeding remain the leading causes of fatal crashes, each accounting for roughly 30% of all traffic fatalities. Distracted driving, which killed 3,275 people in 2023, continues to be a significant factor in crashes and injuries.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, an experienced attorney and Managing Partner with Bond Legal.

“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond.


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Zosima Andabalo may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim pending an investigation.

Bond said, “Injured victims involved in a collision often seek a personal injury claim to cover the cost of medical bills, future medical care, loss of income, emotional trauma, and pain and suffering.

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” she added.
