According to the Birmingham Police Department, the crash occurred at approximately 11:44 p.m. near Crestwood Boulevard and 5th Avenue South. Mohammed was rushed to UAB Hospital, but despite life-saving efforts, she was pronounced dead shortly after midnight at 12:31 a.m.

Authorities have not yet disclosed details on the cause of the collision or the vehicles involved. Detectives continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the fatal crash.

Legal experts note that families impacted by tragedies such as this may have the option to pursue a wrongful death claim, which can provide financial relief for emotional and economic hardships.
