A woman was struck by a car in Moody and rushed to UAB Hospital, though she escaped with only minor injuries. The collision happened at the intersection of Village Drive and U.S. 411, one of the busier crossings in this Alabama city east of Birmingham.
Fire Crews Report Stable Condition
According to WBMA, the Moody Fire Department confirmed the woman was transported to UAB Hospital following the crash. The fire department said she was in stable condition despite the minor injuries she suffered, offering some reassurance in a situation that could have turned out far worse.
According to ABC 33/40, police reported that the woman was struck while she was in the roadway at Village Drive and U.S. 411, though the circumstances of how she ended up there have not been detailed. Moody Police Chief Reece Smith said no charges have been filed against the driver as investigators continue piecing together what happened.
Investigation Remains Open
Police confirmed the crash remains under active investigation, and no additional details about the driver, the vehicle, or the exact timing of the collision have been released. The stretch of U.S. 411 running through Moody has seen other serious incidents in recent months, including a late-night, three-vehicle crash near U.S. 411 and Verbena in which three people were injured, as reported by ABC 33/40.
Nationally, pedestrian safety data has shown some improvement. The Governors Highway Safety Association reported that the pedestrian fatality rate fell to 0.90 per 100,000 population in 2025, marking the lowest figure since 2020. Still, incidents like Thursday's crash in Moody are a reminder that roadway dangers persist even as broader trends trend downward.
No further updates on the investigation have been released, and it remains unclear whether charges will ultimately be filed against the driver. Hoodline will continue to follow this developing story as more information becomes available.
