The driver of the Ranger was identified as Cynthia Davin, 52, of Cullman County. After the tractor-trailer clipped the truck it smashed into a Ford Taurus head-on and pushed the car over 100 feet from the point of impact. The driver of the Taurus, Brian A. Mann, 32, of Cullman Road was pronounced dead at the scene of the multi-vehicle accident. According to witness of the fatal accident, Mann desperately tried to avoid hitting the 18-wheeler. Tow trucks had to be called in to remove the big rig from on top of the car to retrieve the deceased man.
