Conecuh Co, AL (January 1, 2025) – A fatal motorcycle crash occurred on Monday evening claiming the life of 31-year-old Castleberry resident Michael Cory Salter. The accident took place on Interstate 65, approximately four miles north of Evergreen, at around 9:30 p.m., according to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA).
Authorities reported that Salter was riding a 1991 Harley Davidson motorcycle when he was hit by a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 pickup driven by 29-year-old Giber Uriel Gonzalez Velazquez of Hartselle. Emergency responders, including local EMS and firefighters, were dispatched to the scene to manage traffic, extract the involved vehicles, and provide medical assistance.
Salter sustained critical injuries and was transported by ambulance to Pensacola’s Sacred Heart Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the pickup truck remained at the scene, and ALEA has confirmed an ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of Michael Cory Salter during this difficult time. May they find comfort and strength in the days ahead.
