Madison Shaque and Samuel Brown died in a car accident last night in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, leaving prom.
Tragedy struck Bryant High School students Samuel Brown, 18, and Madison Shaque, 17, who met in a fatal accident on Saturday, April 15, morning at Skyland Boulevard East in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The accident happened while they were returning from their prom at Bryant High School. As per several reports, the accident happened around 1:50 am after a Tesla and semi-truck collided with one another. This left the car pinned under the truck, trapping the people inside the car.
