Huntsville, AZ : Tuscumbia man dies from injuries in crash on Posey Loop, just off of Alabama 247 on Tuesday night, March 22, 2016

Jerry McCullough said when he spoke with his son, Michael, at lunch Tuesday, he never guessed it would be the last time they talked.
“I saw him when he left home that morning going to work, and then we talked around lunchtime. We would usually talk a couple of times a day,” Jerry McCullough said. “He talked with his grandmother that evening and said he was headed home. Then about 6:30 p.m. I got a call that turned my world upside down.”
That call was to tell McCullough and his family that Michael was critically injured in a traffic accident on Alabama 247. The McCulloughs live on Posey Loop, just off of Alabama 247.
On Thursday about 11:30 p.m., McCullough said his son was taken off a ventilator at Huntsville Hospital, and died.
“He had been on the ventilator since had got to the hospital,” said his father.
McCullough said his son had several broken bones, multiple trauma and brain damage.
“There wasn’t really anything that could have been done for him,” he said.
Michael Ryan McCullough, 21, had been in critical condition and was placed in the hospital’s surgical intensive care unit. He is the second person to die from injuries in the wreck.
State Troopers said John Newman Hodge, 63, of Russellville, was killed in the accident. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
McCullough was going south, driving a 2012 Ford Taurus, which collided with a 2000 Ford northbound truck driven by Hodge.
Emergency personnel at the scene said it appeared the two vehicles hit head-on.
Troopers said the collision was in the northbound lane.
McCullough said doctors at Huntsville Hospital said his son may have had an aneurysm.
“Which could explain the wreck,” McCullough said.
His said his son played a year of football, and wrestled a couple of years in high school at Deshler.
“He was a typical 21-year-old,” McCullough said of his son. “He went to work, came home, and on the weekends, he liked to hang out with friends. Other than being with friends, he was working or at home.”
Michael McCullough is the 10th person to die this year from accidents in the northwest Alabama region or southern Tennessee counties of Wayne and Lawrence.
The accident remains under investigation by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s Quad-Cities State Troopers Post.
