PERRY COUNTY — Alabama State Troopers are continuing to investigate the events surrounding a three-vehicle accident seven miles northeast of Uniontown Saturday night that claimed the live of a Marion Junction man.

According to an Alabama Department of Public Safety release, at approximately 11:35 p.m., Leroy Page, 59, of Marion Junction, was traveling west on Perry County Road 12 in a 1989 Toyota 4×4 without his headlights on.

Jacob Hochsteler, 18, of Marion and Andrew Tubbs, 47, of Marion Junction were traveling east on Perry County Road 12 in separate vehicles.

Hochsteler, who was driving a 2007 Infiniti G35, was attempting to pass Tubbs, who was driving a 2003 GMC Sierra.

Troopers have said Hochsteler was in a legal passing zone as he drove his Infiniti into the westbound lane. This is where he collided with Page’s Toyota, which was still traveling without his lights on.

Page, who was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the collision, was pronounced dead at the scene.

No information was released on any injuries that Hochsteler or Tubbs may or may not have received in the accident.
