Northside Senior Killed, 1 Other Injured In Sunday Wreck

TUSCALOOSA, AL — Northside High School says a graduating senior was killed and another left in critical condition in a vehicle crash sometime Sunday, less than week before they were both set to receive their diplomas with their classmates.

There have been no on-the-record updates provided on the cause of the wreck or where it occurred, as Patch has reached out to area officials and is still awaiting a response.

The school, however, took to social media Sunday evening, saying "One of our graduating seniors, Josh Lucas, was killed in a car crash today, and another senior, Landon Davis, is in critical condition. Please pray for these families in the coming days, and please pray for our Northside family."

Lucas, who was on the Rams football team, was set to graduate with other Northside seniors on Friday, May 21.

"I am heartbroken," Northside football coach Chris Hilliker said on Twitter Sunday night. "My prayers are with Teresa, Eric and the family. Josh was a fine young man and a great teammate. God bless."

This is a developing story. Tuscaloosa Patch will have more details as they come available.
