TRUSSVILLE, AL (WBRC)- A collapsed culvert has led Trussville officials to indefinitely close a section of Green Road until repairs can be made.

Trussville Police say a culvert that ran underneath the roadway collapsed on Friday, May 17. As a result, Green Road will be closed to traffic from Norrell Drive to Trussville Clay Road until further notice.

The repairs will involve bids for the project and time for engineers to complete the construction. Police estimate it could take up to three months before the culvert is repaired.

Traffic will be diverted to a service road.

45% of teens admit to texting and driving

Submitted by MyFoxAL Web Staff on Tuesday, May 14th, 11:12 am

BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC)- In a new survey, half of teen drivers admit to texting while behind the wheel.

The study was commissioned by the Center for Disease Control and surveyed teens from around the nation. It found that approximately 45% of teenagers admit to texting while driving.

AAA spokesperson Clay Ingram says that amount of distraction on the roadways should be cause for alarm to everyone, especially parents.

"Alabama has the second highest teen fatality rate of any teen driving state in the country and so many of those deaths are needless and pointless and can be prevented," said Ingram.

Ingram says that AAA offers several courses to educate young drivers about driving dangers. He also says parents need to be proactive when talking with their teens.
