(Updated) Alabama troopers have released the names of all three people involved in a single vehicle accident on Old Atmore Road about 2:15 Saturday morning that left one person dead and two injured — the second fatal accident on the road in less than a week.

Alabama State Troopers say Anthony Lee Turner, 25, of Flomaton was killed in the accident.

The accident happened on Old Atmore Road about three miles west of  Flomaton near Kadee Lane when Turner’s Chevrolet Tahoe left the roadway at an apparent high rate of speed. The vehicle  landed upside down off the roadway.

Turner was ejected and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The two passengers in the vehicle were trapped in the upside vehicle and were extricated by firemen. They were identified by troopers as Jeffery Hastings, 27, and Kelly Brunson, 29. They were transported by ambulance to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola where they were treated and released.

The accident is under investigation by Alabama State Troopers.

This was the second fatal accident in less than a week on Old Atmore Road. Miles Brewster Cunningham, 25, of Atmore was killed in a single vehicle rollover accident on Old Atmore Road Monday night. That accident was about a half mile from the location Saturday morning’s wreck.

The Flomaton Fire Department, the Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue, Escambia County EMS, Atmore Ambulance and the Escambia County (Fla.) Sheriff’s Department were all called to the scene.

    Lee was my cousin and I didn’t see him as near as often as would’ve liked to but I did get to see him on Christmas Day and feel blessed for that opportunity. I miss you Lee and look forward to seeing you again one day.

    God takes the angels that He needs – the ones that were sent to look over us. We will see them again one day and they will be there when we want and need them. Cody – It is going to take a minute, actually it is going to take several of them, for you to understand why things happen the way they do. But – everything will play out the way He wants them to. Roll with the punches – Punch back – Understand that Lee would want you too – You looked up to him – Now, make him proud. I am here if you need me.

    I was a classmate of Lee’s since elementary school. Lee was a very sweet kid in school and an exceptional athlete. My love and prayers go out to his family.
    Does anyone know where they are having the funeral? I’d like to send flowers and a sympathy card.

    I feel sorry for these families. I recall that Lee Turner was a graduate of Flomaton and was a great football player along with his brother. My heart and prayers go out to that family.
