CALHOUN, AL, (December 22, 2024) - One person died and three others were injured, one seriously, Sunday night in a three-vehicle accident in Calhoun County.
Caleb Falls died Sunday night in a three-vehicle collision along Alabama Highway 77 in Calhoun County.
According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), 28-year-old Caleb B. Falls, of Cullman, was behind the wheel of a 2024 Nissan Sentra traveling along Alabama Highway 77 around 8:25 p.m. Around that time, a 2019 Ford Mustang crashed into the Nissan, propelling it into a head-on collision with a 2015 Toyota Prius.
Tragically, Falls died at the site of the crash.
The driver of the Toyota was severely injured, while the driver and a passenger in the Mustang suffered unspecified injuries.
The incident remains under investigation.

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.
“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney.
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
Pending the results of any investigations, the family of Caleb Falls may pursue a wrongful death claim. Survivors of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.
Bond, a national legal analyst for Newsline, said, “Grieving families of victims are sometimes overwhelmed by the legal processes that are in place to protect their rights. An attorney can be a valuable and compassionate resource to help guide a family during difficult times and ensure that those left behind receive the restitution they are entitled to.”
“No amount of money is enough for a victim or their family to deal with the trauma and pain they experienced after a catastrophic crash. However, an attorney can help ease the financial burden and provide a path forward,” Bond stated.
