Speed appears to be a factor in a wreck early Friday that claimed the lives of two Etowah County men, Etowah County Deputy Coroner Michael Head said.
Carl Henry Sunderman, 43, was driving a 2010 Hyundai Accent when the wreck happened about 2:50 a.m. Friday, five miles north of Attalla, according to Alabama State Troopers.
Daniel Lee Nelson Jr., 32, was riding in the car and both men were killed in the wreck. The men both live in the Boaz area of Etowah County, Head said.
Head said the car was headed south on U.S. Highway 431, going down the mountain, when it left the roadway and hit an embankment.
The car went about 230 feet further on the shoulder of the road and flipped one time, landing right side up near the old scenic overlook.
Nelson was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the car through the passenger door window, Head said.
Sunderman was wearing a seat belt, but the door came open and the seat belt did not completely keep him inside the car.
The Etowah County Sheriff's Office and the Mountainboro Volunteer Fire Department also responded to the scene of the wreck with the coroner's office and state troopers.
