CULLMAN, Ala. (AP) — Cullman High School officials have delayed graduation after four students were involved in a deadly crash on the way to the school's graduation rehearsal.
Multiple news outlets report one woman died and four seniors were injured in a car wreck Thursday. The Cullman County coroner says 30-year-old Victoria Smith, of Hanceville, died in the crash on Highway 31. Smith's car crossed the median and hit a car carrying four Cullman students on their way to graduation rehearsal around 1 p.m.
Cullman's Superintendent says one senior was airlifted to Huntsville Hospital. The other three were transported to UAB Hospital by ambulance. Three students remained in the hospital Thursday night.
Graduation, which was scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m., will now take place Sunday at 2 p.m. at Wallace State Community College.
