48-year-old Daphne resident Amelia Hawkins was killed Sunday in a fatal crash along County Road 13.
At approximately 12:25 p.m. on Sunday, March 25, Alabama State Troopers responded to the scene of a fatal crash involving a bicycle on County 13 north of AL 104.
Jose Luis Alonso-De Leon, 36, of Silverhill, was traveling south on County 13 in a 2003 Dodge Ram pick-up when he attempted to pass another vehicle. Hawkins was traveling north on a bicycle along the northbound shoulder of County 13.
