Mobile, AL – One Dead After Two-Vehicle Crash On I-10 EB

Mobile, AL (June 20, 2025) – A motor vehicle accident in Mobile early Wednesday morning, June 18, claimed the life of one driver.

The crash occurred at approximately 7:31 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 near Highway 90. Emergency responders with Mobile Public Safety were dispatched to the scene following reports of a collision involving two vehicles.

Upon arrival, officers found that one of the vehicles had veered off the roadway and struck a tree. The driver of that vehicle, identified as 33-year-old Taylor Goff, was pronounced dead at the scene due to the impact. Authorities confirmed that the driver of the second vehicle involved did not sustain any injuries. Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances that led to the fatal crash.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Taylor Goff during this difficult time.

Car Accidents in Alabama

Alabama consistently ranks among the top states for traffic collision fatalities, with over 1,100 lives lost in motor vehicle crashes statewide in 2023. On average, more than three people are killed every day on Alabama’s roads. Many of these incidents involve two-vehicle accidents like the one that occurred on June 16. Speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield at intersections are among the most common contributing factors. Below is some crucial information that often applies after such accidents:

• Common Causes of Two‑Vehicle Collisions: Weather conditions, distraction, and misjudgment during passing maneuvers frequently contribute to serious accidents. In Alabama, speeding and distracted driving account for a significant percentage of fatalities on rural highways. Drivers must remain vigilant and obey speed limits to reduce risks.

• Injuries Often Sustained in Crashes: Occupants in crashes like this frequently suffer from impact-related injuries such as fractures, head trauma, and internal bleeding due to abrupt stops and vehicle deformation. Seat belt use can reduce the chance of severe injury by up to 50 percent, but high-speed impacts, especially against heavy commercial vehicles, remain devastating.

• Role of Tractor‑Trailers in Fatal Outcomes: Collisions involving passenger vehicles and large trucks tend to result in more severe outcomes for the smaller vehicle’s occupants. Commercial trucks can weigh upwards of 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, making impacts more forceful. Alabama’s law enforcement monitors truck compliance with safety regulations to help prevent such catastrophic accidents.
