1 Killed, 2 Injured in Hoover Pedestrian Accident
One person was killed and two were seriously injured in the Monday morning crash on I-459 South, which closed the southbound lanes for about five hours.
One person was killed and two others were seriously injured in a pedestrian crash on I-459 South, one mile south of Highway 150 in Hoover, on November 9, according to Hoover police.
The Morning Crash on I-459 South
The man killed was identified by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office as Javier Acosta Martinez, 26. The wreck was reported at 6:36 a.m. Hoover police said early information shows three people were working on a tire along the roadside when a motorist coming toward them hit two of the three and their vehicle. Acosta Martinez was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:48 a.m. The other person who was struck and the driver of the oncoming vehicle were seriously injured.
Where the Hoover Police Investigation Stands
Hoover police said the investigation is ongoing. The southbound lanes of I-459 stayed closed for about five hours and have since reopened. Police have not announced any charges.
Investigators work quickly at the scene because marks on the road and other evidence fade fast. Much of the slower work happens later, away from the scene.

Lost someone in a crash like this?
Here is what families in Alabama usually need, in the order it comes up.
Death certificates. The funeral home or the family can order them, and banks and insurers each usually want a copy.
Crash report. The crash report is usually ready a few weeks after the crash, and you can still get it later.
Funeral costs. Every state has a victim fund that pays funeral costs after some crashes, and the fund decides who qualifies.
Survivor payments. If the person who died had worked, their spouse or children may get monthly Social Security payments. Applying early matters.
Insurance offer. You can turn down the insurer's first offer and ask for more.
