OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/11/2025, at approximately 7:40 a.m., a woman was driving on Stillman Boulevard near 29th Avenue in Tuscaloosa when her vehicle struck the rear of a Tuscaloosa Police Department Chevrolet Tahoe. The police vehicle was stopped in the roadway while an officer was assisting another motorist. The officer was inside the Tahoe when the collision occurred.
Tuscaloosa Police reported that investigators believed the woman was experiencing a medical emergency immediately before the collision and that the medical event may have caused her to lose control of her vehicle and strike the police Tahoe. Emergency personnel transported her to DCH Regional Medical Center in critical condition.
Initial information provided by Tuscaloosa Police incorrectly stated that the woman had died at the hospital. The department subsequently corrected that report and said she remained alive but was on life support and was not expected to survive. The available reporting therefore contains conflicting early information concerning the precise time and date of her death.
Police also stated that preliminary information suggested the woman's underlying medical emergency, rather than injuries sustained in the collision, was responsible for her critical condition. Because the crash involved a Tuscaloosa Police Department vehicle, TPD recused itself from investigating the incident and turned the investigation over to the Northport Police Department.
The woman's identity was not publicly released in the reporting located for this update. The Tuscaloosa officer occupying the police Tahoe was also not publicly identified.
