MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) _ A tractor-trailer and prison van carrying job applicants crashed Friday on a rural highway, and authorities said all seven people believed to be riding in the van died in the fiery wreck.
Prison system spokesman Brian Corbett said the van's driver and six applicants died, based on Department of Corrections records detailing who was traveling in the vehicle. The charred, smoldering van was almost unrecognizable, and hours after the crash grim responders were cutting into the vehicle to recover the bodies.
"The crash was horrendous enough, but the fire added to the tragedy," said Montgomery Mayor Bobby Bright, who went to the scene.
