An Ohatchee man died in a two-vehicle crash Wednesday in Calhoun County, according to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency's Highway Patrol Division.

Floyd E. Hale, 83, was pronounced dead at the scene after the 2012 Nissan Frontier he was driving was struck by a 2005 Toyota Sequoia driven by Joseph F. Strutz, 54, also of Ohatchee. Hale was not using a seat belt, state troopers said.

The crash occurred at about 4:35 p.m. on Alabama Highway 144 near the 23 mile marker, about seven miles east of Ohatchee.

Alabama State Troopers continue to investigate.
