Tragedy struck in Albertville when 18-year-old Connor Parker lost his life in a single-vehicle accident on Saturday afternoon, as confirmed by the Marshall County Coroner’s Office.
The incident unfolded around 3:45 p.m. on Saturday near the 4000 block of Hustleville Road, where emergency responders were dispatched to a bridge following reports of a car crash.
Regrettably, young Connor Parker, a native of Albertville, met a tragic end at the crash site, according to the coroner’s office.
