Cowarts Woman Killed in Fatal Crash in Montgomery

Montgomery, AL The Montgomery Police Department has made an arrest in the Oct. 21 traffic death of 31-year-old Nicole Baldwin of Cowarts following an early-morning crash on Interstate 85.

MPD accident investigators charged Wesley Welch, 28, of Montgomery with one count of reckless murder. Welch, the driver of the vehicle in which the victim was a passenger, was taken into custody in the 2100 block of East South Boulevard. Following his arrest, Welch was transported to the Montgomery County Detention Facility, where he was being held under a $50,000 bond.

On Wednesday, Oct. 21, at about 4 a.m., Montgomery Police and Fire medics responded to I-85 southbound between Hall and Union streets after receiving a report of a crash. The crash involved a 2016 Toyota Camry and a 2001 Dodge Durango. Baldwin, a passenger in the Camry, was transported to a local hospital and later was pronounced dead. A second passenger, also an adult female, was transported to a local hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries. Welch, driver of the Camry, was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

MPD’s initial investigation indicates that the Toyota Camry was traveling south on I-85 approaching Union Street when it left the roadway and struck the Dodge Durango, which was unoccupied and parked off the shoulder of the roadway. Accident investigators are working to determine the cause of the crash, and no further information is available for release at this time.
