A father and son were both killed after an early Saturday morning auto crash in Alabama.
State troopers say alcohol is a factor in the head-on collision that killed two male members of the Brasher family in Fayette County, Alabama. Both men lived in Bankston, about 67 miles west of Birmingham.
Troopers say the crash occurred around 4.10 am on Saturday on Fayette County 49, one mile west of Winfield, when the 2006 Ford pickup the elder Brasher was driving collided with his son’s 2004 Chevrolet.

‘Our hearts are broken while our faith remains in Him. There are no words to describe the heartbreaking loss of losing both Jeff Brasher and Austin Brasher. There is peace in knowing they are together but our hearts are heavy knowing that they are now longer here with us. ‘
