Roberto Linares, 55, and Infant Killed in Alabama 18-Wheeler Wreck

Roberto Linares, 55, and a 16-month-old infant were killed Friday when their vehicle was hit by two other vehicles, one of them an 18-wheeler.

The crash happened on Interstate 85 about 2 miles north of Shorter, Alabama. Both Montgomery and the infant were passengers in a 2001 Toyota Sienna SUV.

The SUV was hit while driving by a 2011 Freightliner 18-wheeler truck, which sent the SUV crashing into a 2014 Ford Focus sedan. There were three other passengers in the SUV sent to the hospital with injuries. The severity of those injuries was not reported. It was also not reported whether the occupants of the 18-wheeler truck or the Focus were injured.

Officials with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency stated that while the infant was in a baby seat, Linares was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the wreck.
